After the Olympics were over and done with, Julia headed back down to Vancouver for media interviews  and then further down to her hometown Squaw area, where she had a huge bash at Northstar.

This video was created by Julia’s sponsor LaCroix on the day of the party and features Colorshow, one of Julia’s favorite bands… relive the magic! Life is beautiful and free.

It’s been a great birthday!  nothing too special over here in Germany, but I had a little team celebration and now its time to race the last DH of the season! Can’t wait to rock it tomorrow!

So its been crazy for me to keep up with everyone and everything!  I am sure you’ve all noticed that my website has been extremely over loaded!  I had no idea it would be so popular!  So thanks to everyone for checking in!  If you are on facebook and twitter, I have been updating that daily! I will continue to update my blog here to as best I can.

The Olympics were magical and all the support from my hometown and friends and family has been incredible.  I was so happy to get to go home for a day, and have an awesome party at Northstar. I really didn’t get to see everyone, so I am going to have to get back there again soon!!!  Here are some pictures from that day!

what a banner!

silver sparkles!

Colorshow!

Right now i am sitting in Europe watching a World Cup race, and I do really miss the buzz of the Olympics!  It’s great to be back on tour and skiing though. I had some fun doing some tv stuff in LA, and Vancouver but through all that, i realized my heart is in skiing right now:)

I am so stoked about getting on the podium in Crans Montana. I really felt like it would be tough with that flat course and head wind!  But I really charged out there, and my skiing has been good! so with nothing to loose, i tucked my way onto that 3rd spot!

thanks for checking in and I promise to update for and take lots of pictures!
