National Ski Team Training

National Ski Team Training

Friday November 22nd

First trip to Nakiska in many, many years. With the iSKi Card being such a good deal I bought one and skied for $40 and then get $10 off the listed ticket price from there on in.

Could not get up the Gold Chair until about 10:15 am due to the Swiss and French Ski teams practising.

Olympic Chair open

The groomed runs were good until lunch then became icy as I remembered from long ago. But this is November with man made snow so it may improve.

Beautifully groomed in the morning

One run stands out as the ice run from Hell called Whoop Up. Avoid if at all possible.Really enjoyed going back to Nakiska will be going again if there is a powder day.
