Hello Everyone,
It is day seven of our adventure here in Whistler but it feels like it's just getting started. Today was the first official training day for the apline skiers. Skiers get three days of training on the Downhill course. It was great to finally see some media attention up at the hill. Not many journalists but lots of photographers!
The weather did not cooperate though, we had many delays between 11 and 3 p.m. The morning started off with snow, which then brought in low cloud cover and thick fog. Only about half of the skiers were able to get through their training runs.
Heather and I got to stand outside and watch the skiers for about an hour, Heather was in her glory!!
This area is called the "Mixed Zone." Training was over at this point, but this is where all the journalists stand to ask questions as the athletes come through the corral on the right hand side. This is where Heather will work, monitoring journalists and athletes.
Thats all for today, see you guys tomorrow.
Pip and Heather
