Saas Fee

Its AMAZING what ski racers will do to ski these days. Amazing. My dad would crack up and be in disbelief at how crazy we are now a days. There is no snow in Europe! No Snow. We are apparently at the best place to ski at the moment with the most snow available. Its a two tram and a train away glacier that is way up in the Swiss mountains and super beautiful. LIttle kids everywhere, I guess they don’t go to school over here in Europe and they start training seriously at age 9. I didn’t even know what the world cup was at 10 and these kids are carving and have shin guards on and everything. Its nuts. Its also difficult because there are only three T-bars and they move very slow and to many people in one place at one time so its a fight. All day long, running over each others skis and yelling and pushing. Kids are not scared here to take you out at the knees. But I guess we have to be stoked we have better snow then anyone else. We are training with the men too, so that is always inspiring! Im excited for exploration of the mountain trails around here, its straight up from Saas Fee village, a no driving village where they have little golf carts ripping around. Oh and a roller coaster Im going to go check out!
