Thanks Alpine Air for getting us and all of our stuff up to Eagle!
Riding in the back of the helicopter with Lex enroute to his first time on Eagle!

We have a new, legit men's team. They trained together all week... it was impressive

Me, making sure to "Get Out and Play Everyday!"
Eagle on a clear day does not suck

Can't ignore strength work, even on the glacier
Klister testing....
Panorama.... drink pond, athletes waiting for heli, tool connex, facility, waxing connex, trash connex, edge of cliff
We practiced our soft conditions all week as the snow didn't really freeze once.

Coaches!
Good to test out some new klister boards!
Erik "attending" class from the glacier! (Super cool opportunity granted by APU!)
Lauren uses the make-shift trash can ice tub
APU Girls after an L4 classic session.... after the weather turned a bit more familiar.....
For classic intervals we tried something new. We had a "tech off" where each tech had a team of 3 skiers. Skier's skis were judged on kick and glide and at the end of the session, a winner was determined. You may ask what was on the line? Well, Don won and for his efforts he got to have part of the course named after him and the other techs were required to make a sign to mark the trail! What is it called? You'll have to ski Eagle to find out.....
Post OD (over distance) food. Sometimes you just need a bit of grease!
The ladies, waiting for the helicopter
Staff, all smiles! Mikey, Sam & Don
..... and the reason we had to wait. It was clear on Eagle and cloudy down below. You've gotta love those days where you're literally "above" the clouds!
Life, on the glacier
The old machine
Selfy - with the glacier in the background
Hello Costco
Hello supplies
It's super cool in that Eagle is running mostly all summer with camps. Here are master skiers arriving at Eagle for their camp which began today. They took the heli up, we took the heli down. They get a small taste of what we do.
We had no more than 30 seconds to take this picture with Gil Lund, a Kongsberger member (from Seattle) that came for the camp!
Last but not least, our safe return to sea level & civilization. Thanks to Erik, Mikey, Don & Sam for making that one of the most productive Eagle Camps ever!
If you're still interested in seeing more pictures of Eagle, check out my teammate Reese Hanneman's blog for some really creative shots HERE!
What's next? Time for a couple of days laying low and then it's time to get back to training! Thanks for following along!
Cheers,
Holly :)
