Spring Break in Key West and Melbourne Beach

We just spent the half a week in Key West and the other half in Melbourne Beach. Fantastic weather and fun. This is a sample pic from the trip. I'll post the full album soon. This pic is NOT taken with any kind of filter or image enhancement. More to come...

Last Weekend on the Snow

April 6/7 was our last weekend on the snow this season. We were able to ski with Patti, Mike and Ben on Saturday. We all had vouchers and skied for free! It was epic full winter conditions, highs in the twenties. It was a bluebird day. I can't think of a more fitting end to an incredible season!!

Twenty-two Weeks of Intensive Skiing

Well, from November 17 to April 7 the only thing we have done besides school is ski race/train (thus the lack of posts). Well, I should say Gianni raced/trained, while I mostly ran support. He had a total of 76 days on the snow this year, most of them training. I would say he skied about 4 totally free skiing days, raced about 15 days and trained all of the others. He joined MMSC this year and really loved it! The competition in northern Vermont is the stiffest in the country. 

Some of the highlights of the season for Gianni were racing GS at Whiteface two days and placing really well at the Sugar SL, lowering his SL and GS points significantly. He really enjoys racing and is eager to keep it up. He is off to Mt. Hood in June to train and then off to Chile at the end of July for some more serious training with MMSC.
