We've had three awesome days of skiing at La Parva so far. Although there's less snow than during a typical year, we've definitely been getting some top quality skiing and training done. On Sunday after the fog blew off, we free-skied all over the mountain and got to know the area. The mountain is huge with plenty of terrain and breathtaking views in every direction. Check out a few photos below.
We did a number of drills all around the mountain - traverses, wedge turns, and just having fun in this beautiful place.

After skiing, we did another spinning/stretching session for dryland and then dinner. We have a chef preparing three meals a day for us here - so far, the food has been excellent and nobody has gone to bed hungry!
Today the clouds were back but visibility was excellent and we started our training progression with some SL corridor work and paneled apex SL on "Parva Chica". The main focus has been (and will be!) developing a good balanced stance and position on the skis as we move into gates with proper turn shape. More of this tomorrow....

Looking forward to another great day tomorrow - will check back with you in a day or two...
P.S. Every night after dinner so far, we've watched some unbelievable sunsets. Here's tonight's with the lights of Santiago to the left.... Not bad, huh?
