Most of us were made aware that the US Ski Team was training at Copper Mountain, Colorado when the news broke that Lindsey Vonn had broken her arm during a training run but we haven’t heard much reporting from on the hill.  Vail Daily On the Hill correspondent Taylor Seaton got a chance to chat with  Mikaela Shiffrin and Travis Ganong about the benefits of training in their home country and why Copper Mountain is the best place in the world right now to practice upcoming events.
