Off day today. I played a couple hours of tennis this morning with Stefan Kuhn, Canadian National Team coach and former World Cup skier. He is better than me and thoroughly beat me but it was a ton of fun.
It was a gorgeous day in Park City.

The trees are past their peak but still nice.

It has been below freezing in the mornings.

This evening Monique and I had a great dinner with my former strength coach, Alex Moore and family. Then we went to the 2012 MSP Film Superheroes of Stoke. (MSP produces freeski movies.) It was excellent. It made me excited for winter, but also made me miss skiing on the mountain.

In truth, I would way rather ski powder, park, gates or bumps than Nordic ski. (I Nordic ski because I want to be the best in the world.)
