US Ski Team Blog
"Hola. Como Esta Amigos. The first major on snow camp for the U.S. Freestyle Mogul Team got off to a great start in El Colorado Chile. We arrived to a fresh 3 feet of snow that quickly got us out of our summer mode and in to ski mode. Two days in to camp we received another 4 feet of powder which buried our mogul course but put smiles on everyone?s face. It only took us one day to get things back up and going and we have only seen blue skies and lots of sun screen since then. Training has been as good?"
