I am so stoked to announce a few really positive things happening! I recently switched ski brands to Völkl! I have already skied on them a few days and they feel awesome! I am also collaborating with Spyder to help design and represent the brand!

I wanted to share with everyone my Xtreme experience! It was a lot of fun. I was nervous the day before picking my line because you have to stand at the bottom and visually pick your line without skiing.. or really knowing exactly what to expect. In racing its pretty much drawn out for you and there are fences and you trust that the course is in the best condition it can be, in the Xtreme, you just hope that there aren’t any rocks under the snow, or in the landing of the cliff, and that everything goes smoothly. I wasn’t looking to win, just to ski a fluid line. When I dropped in on top, my skis got a little bit tangled and I knew I had to refocus, and let it flow down the rest of the line. After the small traverse, i said to myself, just open it up a little and don’t hesitate on the cliff, and then just ski to the finish! I was planning on hitting one more cliff band… but i got a little distracted, and just wanted to finish! it was so much fun, and I can’t wait to do some more freeskiing this spring!
and speaking of spring, I hope everyone is enjoying the thaw….I sure am!
Just got done with my 3rd year at the High 5 in Verbier. Its a fun event put on by Carlsberg where there are 5 events, GS, Skicross, speed trap, parallel sl and tiathlon(sledding running and hitting a target..) Lots of the guys and girls from the world cup come out and have a good time! Tina Maze won the girls division for the 2nd time in row! It was a sunny fun day of spring skiing!
