Ready For Vail On Saturday?
Ready for Vail on Saturday? Certainly not, is my perspective on the issue. A few more days of intense work, of sweat and strain, of no sleep.
For one thing, the quarter ends right before we leave for Colorado, which makes it next to impossible to be focusing on Vail. The grading closes on Friday and in almost all classes we have some sort of quiz or test, or even more major: a quarter test, in which we have to remember all the material so far…GREAT!
Another thing is that I didn’t go to Chile like the rest of the alpine crew did, so my ski equipment came in just recently and I haven’t touced the bases of my skis quite yet. They are in need of wax and I’m not quite sure how and where I will find the time to wax them. Also, when will I be able to pack, since I have school all this week and we leave early in the morning on Saturday, meaning that technically I should go to bed fairly early on Friday?
On the other hand and on the bright side, Vail IS coming up, which can and definitely is a good thing. I’ve heard it has snowed a lot up there and we are staying in nice condos right on the mountain. Also the U.S. women’s team will be there??!! That would be awesome!
I haven’t skied since Tuckerman’s Ravine last spring and I am totally pumped to be on snow once again. I hope to get used to my new boots fast and tear it up this season! …Definitely stoked about skiing in Vail in 5 days now!!!
