Many folks aren't thinking of being on a ski run in the middle of July except for the U.S. Women's Alpine Team which started their July dryland camp this morning by hiking up and down Snowbasin Ski Area's Wildflower course.
Ski Area is the Olympic venue for the men's and women's downhill and super-G competitions.
The line of the ski course is approximately 3.2 kilometers. The run looked beautiful and has a natural flow to it. I tried to simulate skiing as much as I could for the elements this time of year but it was a lot warmer up there than I thought it would be. Many from the Team have not skied at Snowbasin since the 1999 Chevy Truck U.S. Alpine Championships and Street hasn't skied there since she was a kid. Even if they have skied there, it is a much different and longer course.
