I've said it before and I'll say it again. I LOVE Aspen!
Although today's race was cancelled it was the best possible situation to have it cancelled. That is because it snowed so much that it was cancelled first thing in the morning. We (the girls) promptly went and rented powder skis! We spent our morning ripping it up in waist deep powder with a few hosts who knew the mountain.
From the hill we went into the outdoor hot tubs at the Sky Hotel! Ahhhhh, rough life. While enjoying our time in the pools, Brett (one of our coaches) came to say hello. He was fresh off the hill and excited about the morning of powder. Without notice or planning, Britt, Sherry, and I got a hold of him and threw him in the pool! Luckily Emily was still in the pool to pull him out in case he sunk to the bottom. He was an amazing sport about it all....although I'm sure we'll have to watch our backs for a while!!!!
After the hot tubs, we went out for a nice lunch then hit the shops. Yes, this was a perfect day (next to a great race day that is)!

Just to expand on the powder day. Your hosts were also Canadian and very proud of the performance of our Canadian women in Aspen. Glad to have the opportunity to show you around. I was extremely impressed with the versatility of all of the girls. Powder, bumps, steeps...it didn't matter what we threw at them, they looked like superstars and very much humbled us in all regard.
Best of luck in St. Moritz.
