Alright - I suck at blogging.

I admit it. I suck at blogging. I probably could find time at the end of the day to write something out - however, to be honest, there hasn't been much to report. Friday was my first shift - it was a training day at cross country, so we took the time to further familarize ourselves with the other venues at the Whistler Olympic Park (biathlon and ski jumping), as well as the facility itself. I also managed to get out for a ski in the afternoon. There's now (unofficially) a turn named after me (Ted's Turn), as I fell in front of my supervisor during the ski in the mashed potato-like snow. Whoops.

I had the day off today - the top of Whistler is much differernt than the bottom. At the top, it was snowing, foggy and very windy. While I remembered to bring my camera this time, a lot of our time was spent in the clouds. I had to correct the few images below just so you could make something out. I spent the day skiing with my homestay host, Todd, who shows up in the second and third pictures.

They also had a small trial area for ski jumping - Nancy was nice enough to snap some pics while I took a 'jump':

First competition for cross country is tomorrow. We'll see what happens. Right now, we're not just hoping for cooler weather... we're hoping it won't rain!!
