Earlier this week I traveled down to Hollywood with several other US Ski and Snowboard athletes to participate in a video and film shoot with NBC and the USOC.  The purpose of the trip was to give the media a better chance to get to know the athletes that are hoping to represent the US at the 2010 Olympics.  For a full day, 8am to 6pm, every 20 minutes was scheduled with video interviews, film and photo shoots, and hair and make-up touch-ups through out.  Here are some shots from the day:

It was great to be able to share our sport with those that just think of it as just something “really hard.”  And a good reminder that Olympic medals will be on the line in just under nine months!

Afterward I headed up to Bend, OR to join the rest of the US Cross-country ski team for an on-snow camp.  Yesterday we enjoyed a great two hour classic ski under a hot sun.

I’ll just be in Bend for a couple more days before I head over the pond to Dubrovnik, Croatia for the FIS Athlete Commission meeting, fullfilling my first duties as the women’s cross-country representative.

Happy trails!
