Sochi Olympic Trials

One of the benefits of living in Utah :)

After the ski jump portion of the Nordic Combined trials (which I missed, but it was worth it to see the jumps and get in the Olympic spirit)

After the cross-country ski portion of the Nordic Combined trials, which I did see.
Neat to watch Vancouver's gold medalist race!

Jessica Smith (with the orange helmet) blew away the women's competition, and will be joined at the Olympics by Emily Scott (with the long blond ponytail) and Alyson Dudek, also pictured here. 

J.R. Celski, who won two bronzes in Vancouver and is the favorite for a US medal in Sochi

Celski and Eddy Alvarez (717), whose entire family was right behind us chanting and cheering like crazy.
It was awesome to get caught up in the Eddy fervor - these trials sealed his attendance at his first Olympic games!
