I’m in the land of “ini,” you know: linguini, zucchini, tortellini –Italy. Skiing here is real sweet. The race venue is in this tiny town perched on the edge of a sweet mountain range, littered with ancient castles and family farms. This beautiful Italian town does have its downsides however, foremost being the lack of internet access. Supposedly due to tough anti-terrorism laws, it is very difficult to gain access to the internet and those luck ones would lose their privilege if unauthorized personnel (namely us) were to use their internet. To get around this, we have to drive to nearby Switzerland to poach off of unsuspecting hotels and cafes. The other downside to this conundrum is that my computer’s battery only lasts for roughly ten minutes, so these few and sporadic posts will be short and sweet, but I promise more depth and pictures will follow with my return to the states at the beginning of March. Until then sorry to leave you hanging…
