Beginning of Winter!!!!

We went to Panorama, Canada for two weeks to ski, train, and sort of study. When we got there the conditions could not have been better. It snow for a week straight, the snow would freeze and become firm over night making the next days of skiing amazing. Training was amazing, I was skiing really well. Food was okay, so much better then Chile, at least we knew what we were eating.

Teachers don't realize that our day doesn't end when skiing does. We have to workout, tune our skis, watch video for a while, have meetings, and now that the World Cup season has started, we watch that too, and sometimes we have double sessions of skiing on top of all that!!! They think that we just sit and chill all afternoon so they give us WAY too much homework. Then they tell us that we have class the day we get back so we have to finish all of it no matter what. So instead of sleeping on the journey home, we stay up finishing homework and we do the same when we get back to school. We don't have time in our day to read a 300 page book that repeats the same thing over and over.

Other then the tons of homework we had it was a great camp filled with skiing and friends!!! The trip back was long and tiring considering it was a red eye flight mashed in between two four hour bus rides. When we got back to school it was a rude awakening. We were unpacking the buses in t-shirts and shorts surround by grass and dirt; no snow!!!! We were supposed to start skiing on Sunday but that in never going to happen!!!! This winter might be one of the winters where everything comes in March which will stink, but hey, i am up for some powder in March!!!!!
