Among dealing with the long travel, the athletes also had to deal with jet-lag and the lack of sunlight in the northern parts of the world. "Its hard to adapt to the time change (9 hours) as it gets pitch dark at 2pm. There's only 4 hours of sunlight, so its hard to ever really know what time it is and thus have your body adapt." As a result of the lack of sunlight, the skiers would race under the lights lining the track. Trevor, with the start number 35, just managed to snag the last qualifying spot for the 2nd run, finishing 30th. "I didn't ski great, and knew it as soon as I came down. Only 30 make it into the 2nd run, so I crossed my fingers and hoped that my run would stick. Surprisingly it did." Trevor started 1st in the second run as they flip they 30 fastest from the first run. "Starting first is a big advantage, as the course is smooth. You can run your own line and run a clean ski." Trevor took advantage of his early start number, jumping up to finish 22nd in the opening World Cup. "I skied solid today, but definitely not where I would like or should be. Its nice to have a solid result under my belt and have the first race out of the way, but we have a very strong team and I look forward to seeing what we can do on the circuit this season." Only 3 other Canadians competed in the 2nd run, with Mike Janyk finishing 14th and Julien Cousineau 24th. The team is now home training for 2 weeks before heading to Colorado for some Norams and then Europe for the next World Cup
