After getting up super early this morning (I'm not even sure it was morning yet), we've made it to Copper Mountain. We had time in the Denver airport to grab some breakfast before we hopped on the shuttle for the ride to Copper. Today was the perfect example of why we take the shuttle instead of getting a rental car and driving up here. We drove through snow showers, snow on the roads, and lots of traffic.
There's been flurries off and on all day long but the sun is out now. Hopefully we'll have good weather for most of our stay here. The only day I really care about is Monday, we need good weather then so the competition goes off on time.
Whitney (and her coach, Chad) are all registered and checked in. Whitney got some pretty cool swag - a USASA hat, some cool socks, a army guy-type snowboard dude, and some other things. We still need to connect with the Appalachian Series director to get our App Series Nationals gear. When we checked before coming out here, there were 18 girls in the 16-17 age group who accepted invitations to Nationals. That seems to be a pretty good field, a few less than what came last year.
Tomorrow is practice day, Monday is race day. In between she's going to have some fun snowboarding, high up in the Rockies. I just hope she doesn't wear herself out having fun before race day.
