David, Lanny and Tracy Barnes and I are here for two weeks training up on the glacier here! I wish I could put down in words what it is like here but I just don’t think I can begin to give it justice. br /We are up at 10,000 feet, so the skiing isn’t particularly fast but it is snow and it feels pretty darn good for September. We had the trails to ourselves for the first few days. Today we were joined by a few others, the Norwegian National X-C Team. The trails are about a 5-6km loop that winds around the glacier. It is a good mix of terrain. We have alpine slopes in pretty much every direction around us, and they are busy! br /br /The end of the week I will have regular internet so I will send many more updates then. For now I hope you enjoy the pictures! Check back soon for lots more…br /- Ciaobr /BethAnnbr /a href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mrH2aLzeZss/SqZ3cc329CI/AAAAAAAAAS0/Ijvf3MVaUTE/s1600-h/P1010689.JPG”img style=”cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mrH2aLzeZss/SqZ3cc329CI/AAAAAAAAAS0/Ijvf3MVaUTE/s200/P1010689.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379118135611159586″ //abr /Plenty of options for skiingbr /br /a href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mrH2aLzeZss/SqaASh-yJLI/AAAAAAAAATU/P5-PTjBiCW8/s1600-h/P1010670.JPG”img style=”cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;” src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mrH2aLzeZss/SqaASh-yJLI/AAAAAAAAATU/P5-PTjBiCW8/s200/P1010670.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379127860788339890″ //abr /Rope tow on an alpine setionbr /br /a href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mrH2aLzeZss/SqaASQ0abeI/AAAAAAAAATM/QiTfzmg7mVM/s1600-h/P9010002.JPG”img style=”cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mrH2aLzeZss/SqaASQ0abeI/AAAAAAAAATM/QiTfzmg7mVM/s200/P9010002.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379127856181439970″ //abr /David during a classic skibr /br /a href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mrH2aLzeZss/SqaBPq3HEVI/AAAAAAAAATk/9o_XjNTEnQE/s1600-h/P1010698.JPG”img style=”cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mrH2aLzeZss/SqaBPq3HEVI/AAAAAAAAATk/9o_XjNTEnQE/s200/P1010698.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379128911144096082″ //abr /Tracy and our hotel at 10,000ft.br /br /a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mrH2aLzeZss/SqaBPOjeD_I/AAAAAAAAATc/Q47sLaR2BCw/s1600-h/P1010691.JPG”img style=”cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mrH2aLzeZss/SqaBPOjeD_I/AAAAAAAAATc/Q47sLaR2BCw/s200/P1010691.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379128903545524210″ //abr /The authordiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6813061107698506856-7123162576477267516?l=mwscbiathlon.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
