2/20
Competition day. But first, a side note.  As more and more of my teammates switch to iphones, I have develeped a pet peeve.  The fart application on the iphone drives me nuts.  I am now surrounded by artificial fart noises at dinnner, in the car and on the airplanes. I find it inappropriate and immature.  [...]

Despite all of these external negatives, I had a much better day of training . The moisture packed the snow down, creating deeper and firmer moguls, and I successfully made it down the 250 meter course more than once.

Today was the first of two days of training before the World Cup on Friday in Norway. The mogul course was open from 1-3:30 in the afternoon so I had breakfast and enjoyed several cups of coffee while I searched for cheap flights to France in March. That is the last event of the year and due to the economic troubles the freestyle team has no funding. After the confusing internet search, I did 45 minutes of yoga in my room and got ready to head up to the mountain.
