The last 48 hours have been so busy. I will post a longer blog about my amazing World Cup experience and the City of Lake Loppet, however I am back down to the awards. Here are some cool pictures in the meantime…

Below are some is an email my Dad sent out on how to watch the races tomorrow.  Hope it works for everyone.

***************
I finally discovered a web site that says it will have live coverage
(streaming video) of Matt’s World Cup race tomorrow.

http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Sports/Amateur_Sports

The womens’ race coverage goes from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm central time.  The
mens’ race coverage goes from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm central.

For the streaming video at this web site, you may want to try to locate a
friend with fast internet connection speed, if yours is not too fast.  You may
also want to try connecting and watching the women’s race first to see if it
works, so that you know in advance if it will work to watch the men’s race.

Another alternative is to find someone with digital TV broadcasts via cable or
satellite feed, that has the Canadian Broadcasting Company “Bold” channel (CBC
Bold) in their list of available channels.  Perhaps DISH or DIRECT-TV
subscribers might have this channel available.  This channel is supposed to
have live coverage of the race at the above times.

Hope you can find a way to watch it!!!

FYI, if you click now on the race “Live Streaming” links at the web site below,
you get a message saying this is not broadcast outside Canada.  However, I’m
hoping that is just an error message due to the fact that there is nothing
being broadcast through those links at the moment.  I went to the CBC news
associated with this web site earlier, when there was a scheduled live
streaming newscast.  I also listened to some CBC radio stations on-line.  The
news and the radio came through OK on my home PC, so hopefully the race links
work tomorrow.

Every morning we go for a walk, it is my favorite time of the day

Hello to all our friends and family! I (Marybeth) am writing this post since Matt is busy getting ready for his World Cup race on Friday and I now find myself with a plethera of free time. My parents and brother are watching our children this week so I could come watch Matt race. This is the first time I have went with Matt on a trip since our children were born. I am SOOO VERY THANKFUL for my parents and brother!

We flew in yesterday and went to see the race venue.  Matt and Cook said it “is a hard course with lots of climbing and lots of V1.” It is going to be a great venue to watch them race in. Kuzzy said yesterday “it is the entire Olympic field and then some.”  I think that sums it up quite nicely; needless to say there are a lot of  different countries and fast skiers here.

Here are some pictures I have taken:

Congrats Kuzzy on making the Olympic Team!

Beautiful

They have so MUCH more gluten free food here, lots of restaurants have glutain free menus.  This morning when I went into the local coffee shop in addition to all their regular treats they also had a ton of gluten free goodies…I will be going back there!
