Tang Huai pulled down the curtains of the bus, still closed his eyes and muttered: "I advise you to stop, it's best to sleep more during the day, it's very hard to go out this time." ”

Li Changyi thinks that Coach Tang is making a big fuss, how hard can he go by plane throughout the whole process? Last year, it was a flight of more than ten hours to fly to New Zealand and Germany, and I didn't think it was too difficult.

Reality soon taught him a profound lesson, and this voyage was much more arduous than those two times.

Chile is one of the farthest countries from China, with a Chinese snowboard training team of nearly 200 people, and it takes about 4 hours to take a plane from Harbin to Beijing Capital Airport.

After arriving at Beijing Capital Airport, you had to wait in the terminal for six hours, until the early hours of the morning until your flight to Paris took off, and then spend 14 hours groggily in the cramped seats of the plane, just over half of the journey.

Upon arrival at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, wait another 5 hours for your flight to Santiago, the capital of Chile.

The flight crossed the North Atlantic and took 15 hours.

At the beginning of the flight from Beijing to Paris, there was laughter and laughter on the plane, and when I arrived at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, everyone became frosted eggplant.

Most of the team members only endured the hardships of the journey, Li Changyi sat next to Tang Huai and suffered a double blow, when he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, Tang Huai refused to let him sleep, forcing him to drink coffee and read French movies that he couldn't understand.

When others woke up, when the flight attendant delivered three meals, there was a noise around him, and he was forced to sleep by Tang Hu, which was called jet lag in advance.

Tang Huai said: "Chile is 11 hours behind China, and it is completely black and white, and it is very painful to just get there. ”

Li Changyi was irritated by him: "I don't understand, the whole team is in the same situation, why don't we wait for the landing to go to the hotel to sleep comfortably for a day to adjust the state?" Why do you have to torture me on the plane? ”

"Silly boy, this gives you one more day to get used to the snow than others, isn't it? When you go abroad to participate in competitions in the future, you can adjust your state in advance using this method, do you understand? ”

Tang Huai's two sentences brought up Li Changyi's sense of urgency again, and after they arrived in Santiago, the capital of Chile, they took 4 buses to the ski resort hotel.

After 46 hours, Gu Qiantong and all the athletes of the Chinese snowboard team finally arrived safely in the Valle Nevado Valley.

After eating dinner in tired spirits, they all collapsed on the hotel bed, thinking that they would have a good rest, and tomorrow would be another day full of vitality.

As a result, affected by the excitement of going abroad and the time difference, at least more than 100 people couldn't fall asleep over and over, and at 2 o'clock in the morning, the WeChat group was full of complaints about not being able to sleep.

Gu Qiantong slept well, and Tang Huai gave sleeping pills very intimately, so that she could sleep until dawn.

She saw that there were 99+ unread messages in the group in the morning, and she wasted a lot of time reviewing the chat history, so she severely criticized the insomnia activists, asking them to close their eyes and recuperate if they can't sleep in the future, and not to stay up late chatting with their mobile phones.

As for sleeping pills, she didn't share them with others, and it is possible that this thing may form dependence, and it is better for athletes not to eat it.

Looking at the listless appearance of his teammates, Li Changyi smiled, he really had to thank Tang Huai for his arrangement, otherwise he would have to waste two days.

Receiving his full ski gear from the support staff, he was the first to rush into the ski resort of Nevado.

It was as if you had broken into heaven, covered in snow on all sides, with a pure white expanse in the near distance and a series of steep peaks like crowns in the distance.

Unlike the snow conditions in artificial snow resorts, the natural snow peaks here are covered with thick powder snow, which is especially like a large piece of fragrant cream cake. Behind it, the dark red hotel building resembles a piece of chocolate in the center of the cake.

Except for a cleared road and a row of towering cable car towers, the entire snow field is empty, and the snow surface is flat without a single footprint or scratch.

He bent down and grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, rubbed it slightly, and the snow spilled from his fingers, and immediately turned back in surprise and shouted, "I'll go, Powder Snow!" Powder snow! Come on! ”

No one can resist the temptation of powder, and even the most snow-hating person can't help but smile and leave a footprint on the ground when they open the door in the morning and see the smooth snow on the ground.

Many skiers are eager to see the powder snow and want to grab their skis and go to the top to have fun, and if such an excellent ski resort is still located on a mountain, with gentle slopes and steep cliffs, it will be even more exciting.

The Nevado Ski Center is one such place, with 35 natural pistes for jumping, park tricks, pursuits, and even a canyon that is a natural halfpipe.

Li Changyi couldn't wait to put on his skis and shouted and plunged into this ice and snow world.

Tang Huai grabbed a handful of snow in the back and studied: "Low temperature, high altitude, dry air, and the moisture content in the snow is less than 4%, this kind of powder snow can be maintained for a long time, it is a good place!" ”

He looked back and saw that almost all of the athletes were hugging their skis and rushing outside, except for Banksy and High Entropy who stepped aside and grabbed a handful of snow to study like himself.

"Tsk, this foreigner is still eccentric!"

Tang Huai patted off the powder snow on his hands, raised his feet and walked to the two of them: "Hey, Mr. Banksy, I have a question for you." ”

"Please."

"In snow like today, do we need to change to a different kind of ski wax?"

"That's right, we're working on the analysis and we're going to go back and rewax."

Tang Huai tilted his head and looked at Banksy: "Don't you think it's a good time to give a lecture?" Tell the athlete how to analyze the snow conditions and how to choose the right ski wax ......"

"NO, NO, NO! LISTEN, DON, IN OUR COUNTRY, WAXERS ARE A VERY INDEPENDENT AND RESPECTED PROFESSION, WHICH IS DISTINGUISHED FROM SKIERS. I am a skier instructor and do not have the obligation or ability to teach waxing. ”

Tang Huai frowned and pointed to Li Changyi and the others who were wantonly spreading joy outside: "Then what should they do?" ”

"I provide your ski wax, and I will find time to tell them which wax to choose, which is called technical service."

"In other words, our athletes only have the right to use, not the right to know?"

"You are not right, I am not hiding anything, I am just not obligated to train you to train a special waxer. You can report this problem to Mr. Shao, and if he is willing to hire another waxer coach, I have a few good people to recommend. ”

Tang Huai raised his hand and switched to Chinese to express disdain: "Hey, you're going to lose money!" ”

Confused, Banksy asked High Entropy, "What did he say?" ”

High Entropy looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment, "He said...... He'll find a professional waxer. ”
