Aspen
I’m on a plane returning form Aspen and Vail as I am writing this and I am still trying to sort everything out. The trip as a whole was rather disappointing. I had more crashes and races that I did not finish than I would have liked. I had a lot of missed opportunities to [...]
Vail
It has been forever since my last update and I must apologize. I am trying to recall what has happened since my last update. My European trip finished up relatively smoothly. We finished with a few giant slalom and slalom races in France. I was one of the better racers there, but that does not [...]
Chamrousse
It has been a rough start to my Europe trip so far. I am like a baseball player on a bad day 0 for 4. I have yet to inspect a course let alone race. All of my first four races have been cancelled due to weather. I arrived in Europe on Tuesday, the 2nd, [...]
European Cups
After a brief period of uncertainty, I now know what the next couple of weeks have in store for me. I left Panorama and Canada not knowing what I would be doing come January. I wanted to head to Europe to race European Cups and have another shot at getting a world cup start, but [...]
Naskiska to Panorama
I have been more than delinquent with my updates lately. I have been meaning to post something for over a week now, but the last two weeks have seemed like a hurricane. I guess that is what happens when I have 11 races in as many days. My world feels even more upside down right [...]
Lake Louise
Well Lake Louise has come and gone. It was a completely different experience this year compared to last season. I did not show up wide-eyed and nervous. I knew what to expect and came in with a game plan. The whole time in Lake Louise I wanted to remain focused on what I needed to [...]
Copper Mountain
I have some good news and some bad news from yesterday’s Copper race. The bad news: no Thanksgiving dinner at home this year. The good news: I will instead be at Lake Louise. I earned a start in the first World Cup sg of the season next weekend in Lake Louise, Canada. To be honest [...]
Summer Training
The recent snowfall could not have made me more excited for skiing and the upcoming season. I have spent more time on snow this off-season than any other before, but there is still something about when the first flakes fly at home that really excites me. As I am making my way out to Vail, [...]
Canada
27 days later my time in Canada has come to an end. On the whole it was a successful trip. The training at Nakiska in the beginning was great and the races there afterwards were a good transition back into racing. Whistler had its highs and lows and I really hit my stride in the [...]
