I just returned home from Russia where I went skiing with the Oakley/Redbull girls team in Krasyana Polyana. This was my first time to Russia, so I didn’t really know what to expect. The trip turned out excellent and very educational. We got a little skunked with rain in the beginning, but then it snowed and the sun came out and the trip was on. We experienced everything from being beaten with tree branches in the sauna, to not being able to heli-ski because Prime Minister Vladamir Putin was using the heli for his own skiing pleasure and house-keepers splitting out of town because the K.G.B. was after them.
