CZE lost, CAN lost, at least SWE won.

Full day downhill skiing in Whistler. 7 hours straight (counting 2,5 exercise), starting at 8:15, very early morning drive from Van to pass the checkpoint at 6 pass Squamish. First few hours almost alone on the runs and lifts, felt like my own mountain groomed only for me. Kept going up and down untouched runs.Than I got to see the start and few hundred meters of Super G (women) and got to see first three girls (AUS, SLO, USA), the viewpoint was very close to the start for free, stand there for 45 minutes, saw 25 women, great mood, people cheering for everyone. FUN! Fast! Later more people on the runs, but my maximum waiting time half a minute....seriously... such an amazing day!!! I am pretty exhausted, probably never skied so many runs in one day, mostly on top of the mountains (better snow), love Seventh Heaven and Harmony ridge and Symphony. A few black runs and one fall. That was worth to go, stopped when I was finally told to leave the mountain. Amazing, sunny, unlimited view , almost too good to be truth.
