For working out we have been doing a lot of running, jumps and power and best of all mountain biking. I then got ready for my first trip to Chile. I have been looking forward to it for quite a while.
The ten hour plane ride was really long and I got more and more eager to ski. My group finally got through customs and then we were off on a three hour van ride. The next three days we trained slalom and drills. We then did GS drills for three days and three days of gates. We also worked on doing a SuperG jump. The first time I did it I accidentally popped it and I almost landed on the flats! The rest of the jumps went much better.
For the last two days of the camp we did slalom gates. At first we did inside clearing of the gates and then we moved on and did cross blocking.
The last day we did "Man Hunt". The place we played was amazing. It was on and around small shacks and storage containers where people live. I would feel so bad they live in such a small storage container. After the game was over my group packed up and we headed off to the airport.
We got there about four hours early. As we waited to board the flaps on the plane were broken. The J3’s stayed in a Best Western over night. In the morning we finally boarded our plane. We then had a extra thirty minute wait because the plane needed fuel. We took off and I had another eleven hour plane ride.This time I slept much more.
We landed in New York, then had a six hour bus ride back to the GMVS campus in Vermont. I am just relieved to finally be back in the USA.
