Yes, we got it flew into Milan yesterday.
I'm up in Bormia right now.
I actually got on the race hill today.
It snowed a good six, eight inches.
So it was more of a powder day than real training for that.
It's up there today.
It's a lot of snow to clear off.
I did ski down the downhill track, yeah.
Yeah, we're in Italy.
They know who I am.
I had the right credential.
So Borneo downhill is one of the nastiest downhills in the World Cup.
It is a pretty scary downhill.
With eight inches of snow and not having to race it, it is a joy.
So I would say if you're really on top of it, if you're on the top of your game, it's fun.
Nowadays when I look at it, I'm five years removed from racing, there are very few days that look fun.
Most of it looks pretty scary.
Yeah, my wife jokes that it looks like somebody popped a balloon when she looks at my butt now.
I'm definitely not anywhere close to as strong or prepared to do any of that stuff as I once was.
Anybody who wins had to take some risk.
