We're off!

We hit the road to the airport early yesterday to head west to Colorado. I was going to post a nice "sunrise at the airport" picture because we were up that early but there was no sun. It was a rainy morning when we left, but here's one anyway.

After clearing the clouds in Washington, it was a good flight to Denver. We got there and Whitney was not feeling good. It seems to be a combination of not enough sleep the night before, dehydration, needing food, and probably the altitude. Thankfully she's fine now.

We got our bags, some food, and meet the shuttle which took is to Copper. Checked in, got Whitney registered, and we're good to go.

Our room is in Center Village, overlooking Burning Stones Plaza, the heart of things. Today Whitney is off trying out the new board on good snow, she has her practice time after lunch, her first and only time to see the boardercross course before race day. Tonight is the parade and opening ceremonies, our series is having a get together, then racing starts tomorrow. Should be a fun week!
