More pics from our time in Wengen, Switzerland...
Top of the Eiger
Cool views everywhere in Wengen
Skiing down next to the downhill course with the town of Wengen sitting below.
We were able to check out the start house with the credentials we got from Marco...lot of respect for these guys!
The Swiss Army preparing the Lauberhorn downhill.
I have to say, the Swiss fans are INTO it!
Our friendly "neighbor" fans fed us fondue and wine as we all waited for the race to start!
Swiss Army jets did a huge half hour air show before the race started...buzzing the course, the Eiger and the crowd. This was where we watched the race from, along with 20,000 other fans.
And Marco got 3rd!!!!!
Hard to see but these guys were carrying huge cow bells between their legs (if you click on the photo, you can see it better)...heading to the awards ceremony in the center of town.
At the awards ceremony watching Marco take steps on to the podium!
The Swiss were going crazy as a Swiss skier (Diede Defago) won the downhill, with Bode Miller in 2nd and of course, Marco in 3rd.
The gauntlet for the podium skiers to walk down en route to the stage. It was cool when Marco walked down as he managed to spot Chels amongst the thousands of wild fans and stopped to give her a big hug!
Chels, Porc, Marco, Erin, and Trev in celebration mode after Marco's 3rd place finish while watching the US Ski Team vs. Canadian Ski Team play each other in a game of hockey. (Marco had only one celebratory beer!)
