Ready for our Final Glacier Camp of the Summer

All the pre-glacier preparations have been made and we are looking forward to another week of on snow training on Eagle. The coaches do an immense amount of work on the machinery and facility, but each of us athletes also help out to make the camp a success. Prior to each camp we make a gigantic Costco run, pick up donated bread and bagels from Europa and AK Bagel Factory, box everything up, drive it all down to Girdwood, store it in the fridge and freezers at Alpine Air, and wait for a clear sunny day to have it flown up to camp.
Then Alpine Air sling loads the luggage up to the glacier so we can consume massive quantities of food and fuel our passion for training hard.
I am looking forward to getting in as much skiing as I can handle and quality team bonding time in our home away from home!
