With only 3 more days left in beautiful Bend, Oregon, there's not much to report except positives. The skiing has been great, the weather mostly fabulous, and the company perfect. I even got to spend a couple days with my parents, whom I haven't seen since January. All in all, it's been a successful trip...hopefully the last 3 days won't disappoint!

Of course, we've been doing a lot of technique work...I think the coaches make up new drills just based on what will entertain them most. ;)
