Whitney and I flew out yesterday to Colorado. Our flight was an hour late leaving DC (mechanical issues in Orlando made the flight late getting to DC, then we had more issues in DC) but we still had plenty of time in Denver to get our bags before our shuttle came. We got to Copper about 7:30 last night, checked in, then went for pizza. Our condo is nice, although it's on the edge of Center Village and a longer walk than we would like to the middle of things. It's not too bad though.
This morning Whitney went to registration and got her practice bib for today and her race bib. She met up with the guys from Massanutten and Chad, took a few fun runs then she went over to the BX course for practice. She thought the course was pretty good and definitely fast. She took a hard tumble and hurt her ribs but seems to be fine. We met for lunch then she was going to go back out riding with Chad for a while but it's been snowing off and on all day and then there was thunder. She called to let me know she was headed back to the condo and said that most of the lifts were closed. We're guessing they're on wind hold. I have to say though that it's coming down pretty good right now (they're calling for 8-16") and I'm sure the visibility on the slopes is pretty low. Hopefully the snow will come down tonight/tomorrow and stop so they can get the course in good shape for Sunday's races.
Tonight we're meeting up with the Massanutten gang, the parents, riders, coaches who are here for dinner. Tomorrow she's got practice and the opening ceremonies are late tomorrow afternoon.
