US Ski Team Training Camp in New Zealand

A few photos from our first few days at the US Ski Team Training Camp which is being held at The Snow Farm in New Zealand.  We have had great conditions each day and are looking forward to three weeks of quality on-snow training.  I have attached three photos from this morning's classic sprint workout.  We received 3+ inches of fresh powder last night and were able to use Extra Blue all morning.

Preparing to begin this morning's classic sprint workout. Skiers were sent through a start gate and timed at 4 points throughout a 100 meter course.
