Enjoy some photos below from Steve Prawdzki. Steve and a handful of other Talon Crew volunteers are in Whistler volunteering for the 2010 Olympic Games.
The Talon Crew is the volunteer corps for the annual Birds of Prey World Cup Race Week here in Beaver Creek. They rack up a mind boggling 25,000 hours of volunteer service each year here. Without them, the Birds of Prey Would not be what it is today.
We hope to post some more photos from Steve and the Talon Crew over the coming weeks.
Thanks for sharing Steve. Photos and words below courtesy Steve Prawdzki.
SATURDAY, FEB. 13, 2010
I am up at 4:00 am with much anticipation, and make my way to Creekside for a 5:00 am load. I arrive on time only to find out, as I had expected, that the race was postponed. What a big disappointment for everyone, we really wanted to get the Men's Downhill off as scheduled. The race has been rescheduled until Monday. There was just too much rain and it's still way too warm. With more rain in the forecast and the freezing level rising to 1600 meters (top of the course), this was the only decision that could be made.
After a brief meeting, we head over to Murray's house to have coffee and plan the rest of our day. We decide to meet in Whistler Village and check out the scene there. We meet around mid day and the village is teaming with activity and the energy level was high. The pics pretty much say it all.......
