Hello!

Wanted to post a little something before we vanish off into the Russian wilderness!

It’s been a good week of preparation in Davos.  Lots of new snow and a couple good workouts to get the body fired up.  Yesterday I did some speed with Chandra.  We took turns leading in the soft conditions and practiced all types of terrain.  On our cool down we hiked about 200m up an alpine run to take some sweet tele turns  in the powder on the way down.  Very fun!  In the evening we did a classic ski by the light of our headlamps.  She had a Scandinavian built Silva and I had a Petzl.  It was interesting to compare the two types.  Both emit totally different beams.

Now we’re spending the night in Munich before catching a charter flight to Rybinsk tomorrow.  I had a good trip in Russia last year and I look forward to another exciting experience!  I will post a story when I get back into communication on Sunday or Monday.

Cheers!
