Yesterday after the race, everyone except for the men’s distance racers packed up and drove from Davos to Predazzo, Italy. I’m really happy to be here, in the same hotel we stayed at for the Tour, because it’s cozy and it’s a really fun town to be living in for the next…

The locals here said that they’re not getting a ton of sunny bluebird days this winter, but even so – Davos is amazing, beautiful skiing with tons of snow! It’s like this winter wonderland, complete with a main street full of cafes and good waffles. This post will mainly be…

The US team had an absolute blast making this music video to Taylor Swift’s song “I Knew You Were Trouble”. Check it out! Make sure you watch it all the way to the end….the last few seconds of the out-take are really funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0zD8dAguIk&feature=youtu.be In other news, the US Ski…

Wow, the training and living and just EXISTING here in Davos has been amazing! I’m super pumped to be here and I feel so lucky to get to train on amazing trails in the mountains, with sunshine and powder days. I’ll definitely be getting more Davos updates out soon, with…

Ok, kidding, we’re not living on a rock. It’s a mountain! But still, if you’re not into traveling up and down every day, there’s a lot of living in-house. I wish I could say the pictures I have of camp life are wicked exciting, but mostely everything here is the…

At the moment, the 5th Russian fix-it-man of the day is watching Holly try to explain/pantomime that the upstairs shower leaks through the ceiling and upstairs someone else is working on the pipes. And this has been the “down-time” part of the last few days! Russia has been very exciting,…

I’m writing this from our couch in cabin #17, from the top of the mountain ski area in Sochi, Russia. But I’ll tell you more about Russia, our crazy travel day, and rule following in the next post. This one’s about how AWESOME training in France was for us last…

La Clusaz has been a great week of training and racing. I guess I am appreciating being on snow and racing even more after being sick, because sometimes its easy to forget how lucky we are to be getting outside every day and training! The venue here is a hard…

On Monday we made the 7.5 hour drive from Predazzo, Italy to La Clusaz, France. And we got to go through some really beautiful and old towns nestled into the sides of the mountains, and almost every one of them had a castle on the highest part of town. Just…

If you ever get the chance to visit Predazzo, Italy, you should definitely stay at Hotel Touring. No, I wasn’t paid to say that. I just think it’s true. The hotel staff is super nice and it’s a great place to be training and recovering in, and it’s right in…
