One of the biggest highlights of this Olympic visit was to meet the members of the Canadian Cross Country Ski Team at a reception held for sponsors and friends of the team at Canada Olympic House at Whistler this evening. DeFeet has been a sponsor of the team since 2008. This is a World Class organization with the warmth of a local club. This is not a sport for the faint of heart and Nordic skiers record some of the highest VO2 measurements in the world. We look forward to seeing them race more the coming days.
After a spectacular drive on the new Sea to Sky highway, we arrived at the Whistler venue and were greeted by the Team Director and an RCMP officer. We were also serenaded by two Swiss gentlemen who played Alpenhorns to the tune of Amazing Grace. The Swiss have had great success at these Olympics and they are celebrating!
Thanks to Mike for these great photographs.
