Another day in paradise! Yesterday our racing and training on the men's and women's alpine courses was cancelled again, not because of warm temperatures, but because of the amount of snow we received.
So after a short break, several of the medical team members and I went powder skiing on Blackcomb. Let's just say this Ontario boy needs more practice skiing powder. Later in the day I went to watch "Fiest" in concert at the medals plaza, and on my way out I was invited to the Austria house by the medical team from the sliding centre. Many of the larger countries have gathering places or houses for their followers. The Austria house is an eco-friendly house built for the event, and after the Olympics will be donated to the town of Whistler. Last night the house was packed with Austrians celebrating there gold medal in men's biathlon.
All the staff where dressed in traditional clothing, with an Austrian band playing in the background and great food for all.
Today is another day off for the men's course, as the women's downhill is being run. Thursday will be training runs for the super combined race, which combines a downhill race and a slalom run.
I will try to post more pics of training on Thursday if I get a chance.
