Today was the last day of training here in Park City, where we've had a pre-Olympic camp during the last five days. Since most of the guys were over in Europe at the Downhill and Super Combined events in Chamonix last weekend, it was just Erik Schlopy and myself enjoying the home turf!

It should have been a great setup for us, but unfortunately the conditions were soft and warm the first four days. Until today that is because the skies cleared last night and the temperature dropped, which left us with a crisp beautiful day for GS training this morning.

Tomorrow we're boarding our flight for Torino, and I can hardly wait! It's been awesome to have been in the States these last two weeks, especially to have been back in Stowe. MMSC threw Jimmy Cochran and me a warm Olympic send-off party at the Rusty Nail, and the support was overwhelming. It was also great to catch up with friends and family during the break before I hit the road again for the next five weeks.

As an aside, I've had some press since making the team, albeit a bit less than Bode has had recently! One piece of note was an interview that Vermont Public Radio did with me last week, which you can find here.
