World Cup

HEY! I am still coming down from cloud 9 after racing my first world cup yesterday. The whole experience was so straight up cool. After watching Sarah and Tess ski the downhill the day before I started to feel less nervous and more excited. We were all cheering as loud as we could, ringing cowbells and blowing whistles. It was like everyone in the finish felt the same way - so proud of the young Canadian racers.

In the weeks before I talked to Kelly Vanderbeek, Larisa Yurkiw, and Georgia Simmerling about racing World Cup. They were all super generous with sharing their experiences. With their advice in mind, my focus was on enjoying the whole experience and skiing my best.

Tess is stoked!

  It was seriously the perfect bluebird day in Lake Louise. Sarah and I hung out up top, warming up and listening to music. When it was finally time to go I was so pumped and couldn't wait to push out of the start... (there was a little typical 'first race of the season confusion with the start wand'). Other than that, I skied well and the course was a blast.

Thanks to everyone for the crazy amount of support and encouragement. Thanks to Mom, Dad, Sophie, Johanna, Pat, and Arnie for driving out to watch the race. (ski fast) I'm was so thrilled to see you all in the finish.

A little media time

In hindsight, shouldn't have signed kids' new winter jackets.
