The day of the Super G ended up being beautiful, warm and sunny and we found a bunch of friends from Tahoe that hung and cheered with us!
I can only imagine what the extra baggage costs for these cowbells were! The Swiss are amazing fans that's for sure, any time a Swiss skier was on course, they started ringing these for his whole run and the sound drowned out the rest of the crowd!
Trevor and George Hjelte
Nate Holland, a US Team snowboarder and friend from Tahoe. He competed in the Snowboarder Cross earlier in the week but fell in the final heat...bummer!
Manny Osbourne-Paradis (Canadian racer and Marco's good bud) with Marco after the race
The scene
Later that night we booked it to go see the skeleton
Trev and I with Liz and our friend Jess in front of the lit track.
It was a pretty cool scene and made us all want to try skeleton out, but maybe at a little slower speeds...those guys were flying!!! It was hard to even get a pic as they sped by.
Ski day at Whistler/Blackcomb with Marco! Jess, in the pink hoodie is a local and was able to show us around which was awesome.
Another amazing day!
Whistler/Blackcomb is the most amazing place I have ever skied, you get two enormous and great ski areas for the price of one...all you have to do is ride the Peak2Peak tram between the two to get across to the other mountain.
Here is the Peak2Peak which kind of reminded me of something you could find in Europe. Aweseome times! Now back to real life.
