Winter Getting Close by Torjus Krogdahl

After a lot of hard work, sweat, and tears, the alpine team finally finished up the last week of dry-land training. The whole team is in great shape and ready to hit the slopes. Ryan and Nick went to Colorado over the weekend and had some great training. The rest of the team took the weekend off to get some rest and prepare for the strength test on Tuesday and Agony Hill on Wednesday.
The Nordic team is still going strong, working out harder than ever and definitely getting ready for thanksgiving, when they are going to test out the snow for the first time this season.
This week the winter finally arrived in Salt Lake City. The last couple of weeks have had temperatures in the 60s, but on Wednesday it dropped into the low 30s and we even got some snow. Some of the ski resorts in Utah are already open and hopefully they will start blowing snow in Park City and Snowbird so we can start ski training after we return from our annual thanksgiving camp in Colorado.
After a great fall of training and lots of fun, I think the ski team is in better shape than ever and ready for a successful winter.

Go Utes!!
