My trip to Cali!!

California!!

So last late summer/early fall my family and cousins on my mom side took a trip to Newport Beach! It was super fun and overall a great trip!! We stayed in a tiny little house that did not look at all like it did on AirBNB but it was fine because we barely spent time in it anyway haha!! We spent most of our time at the beach swimming, playing in the waves, and getting fried while laying on our towels in the sun. We had a surf lesson with this surf school of just a couple people and it was way fun! The waves were bigger and less predictable than when we surfed at Waikiki in Hawaii but it was super fun because it was a bit more challenging. We took a LOT of trips to Jack’s Surf Shop and usually walked down the boardwalk to a donut shop for breakfast!! There was also a Handle’s Ice cream place so we would go get ice cream there during the day. Another great place we went to was the Old Spaghetti Factory!!! My absolute fav thing there was the rasberry cream soda! Newport Beach is a great place to go any time and I would love to go back!!

My weekend

This weekend was pretty normal! I had ski training on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and it was all really fun. On Thursday I trained at the UOP(Utah Olympic Park) and it was reeeaallly cold! It was like 8 degrees and I was wearing just a speed suit and my coat so that didn’t make it better! We trained slalom and I was doing pretty good but it was so icy so I slid out a few times! On Friday, training was at Snowbird and we trained GS because we have a GS race coming up on Tuesday! It was super icy because it hasn’t snowed up there in like 6 weeks so the course was kinda sketchy. We also free-skied and spent a lot of time running mineral basin and baldy. On Saturday we had early-morning so I had to wake up a 5am and get ready to go!! It was really cold and icy so the course was kinda scary but it was good training!! The coaches also did video so I got to see my run and how I can improve. Since it was so cold, we took a 20 min break in the creekside lodge, and then I had to leave for my cousins baptism! It was really fun and we went to Hire’s Big H after! That’s a little bit about my week! Thanks for reading!!
