enjoying the peak

On top of the world!

literally. I woke up this morning from a bit of hazy jet lag, to hop on a helicopter and ski a run that just went on forever and ever and ever! I admit… I am a lucky girl.

So what is this lucky girl doing in Portillo? well, I am here with an amazing group of athletes skiing and shooting with Spyder and as a bonus…Warren Miller.

They haven’t had a huge snow year this year, and our US Ski team camp is supposed to be in two weeks.  I got to fly over the dh on the way to the next valley… looking slim. The Austrians are skiing here this week and they say its tough!  The snow is hard, thats how we like it!!

but this week, I am looking forward to some nice corn snow… I will take some powder too, but either way, its all about having fun and making some nice freeski turns.

we started way up there!

The views from the Heli were amazing. It was so fun. I get very excited when I get in there, though also a bit nervous… The altitude here is around 10,000ft.  We made it up to around 13,000ft today, and you can feel the air is thin!

Its only been one day…  so the photos have only just begun….

stay tuned….. julesx
