DAY 9 in Portillo
"Day 9 marked our first day of training that didn’tgo exactly as planned. Due to complications with theRoca Jack we had to forego super G. We did, however, manage to squeeze in twelve runs of slalom followed byten runs off of the jump. We had some fun with the camera today and did some still motion coaching. Go to www.dykster.com to view the video. The Americans are off tomorrow so we are going to take over the DH course for one more session on the long boards." ~ Dykster
DAY 10 in Portillo
"Due to a change in schedule by the Americans we were able to take over their DH course for one more session on the long boards. We were accompanied by Ace Tarberry (ex GMVS, Dartmouth athlete) for our morning session. Along with Ace came the American’s snowmobile and a driver. The session was awesome to say the least with the guys getting 9 DH runs in before 10:15am. Unfortunately, spring is now upon usand our time on the infamous Portillo speed track has come to an end. Tomorrow we are hoping to get in GS & SG on the plateau but won’t be able to confirm until the lane space meeting at 5:15pm." ~ Dykster
