Day 4 - First Day of GS Training

Pretty straightforward day today. We spent the entire day doing GS training on Bobcat. The warm weather made for some pretty big ruts but the team was skiing exceptionally well for their first day in GS gates this year. All told we made about fourteen (14) runs! We are looking forward to two more solid days of GS training before the GS series at Sunapee. It's wonderful having most of Wildcat to ourselves. One particular newcomer to the team - and ski racing in general - David Sonshine had a standout performance for his first day in gates. Another John Gillis in the making? The girls are looking forward to seeing their freshmen - Blaine and Krista - debut at the race on Friday. Meanwhile the teams are bonding on and off the hill, enjoying home cooked team dinners, and tuning sessions.
