The team spent the remainder of their camp on the glacier in Tignes, where the training was excellent. The athletes were skiing on 'black ice' basically the glacier itself. " Our coaches spend hours and hours watering down and injecting a hill to make it as icy and difficult as possible. Here it has occurred naturally. This is ice you can't mimic, its the real deal, unbelievable training" The skiers would go through 2 or 3 pairs of skis a day, just to manage with the ice. Unfortunately Trevor straddled mid camp, and tweaked his knee that has seen 2 operations in as many years. He missed 4 days, but was able to finish the camp strong on a healthy leg. " The ice here is so challenging and hard on the body, and I guess my knee took a good blow. It tightened up, but is fine now and I'm able to ski pain free." The team will complete the camp here, cheer on their GS teammates competing in the opening World Cup of the season in Soelden, Austria, and head home for 2 weeks off before training in Nakiska and Panorama.
