April in Park City was snowy and cold and after a long ski season I was longing for some sunshine and a beach.  So, I went to Cabo, Mexico with teammates Jess, Hailey and Sarah.  Sarah’s husband, Federico, is Mexican and set us up with the perfect vacation.  We started the trip staying at a…

March was a month of finals, championships and a chance to wind the season down after the Olympics.  The U.S. Ski Team got a tour of the East coast that started in Stowe, VT where we did some pre-noram final training on some spring snow.  We then moved to Burke, VT for the last noram…

For the month of February and all of the Olympic excitement, I thought a Picture/video would be worth a thousand words:

The month of January has been a whirlwind of ski racing.  I started the 2010 year off in Quebec, CAN at some North American Cups.  Although the giant slaloms were cancelled due to unsafe snow conditions it was still successful trip and I went home with two slalom victories.   At home I got a much-needed…

It is going to be Independence Day in Chile this coming weekend and many Chileans have come to the mountains to celebrate the holiday.  The weather is bright as the sun reflects off the unending snow covered mountains as we join the Chileans at Valle Nevado ski resort for two weeks of training.  Skiing has…

  It is great to be back at ski camp  and in New Zealand of all great places.  It feels like it has been so long since we were on snow since our May Camp was cancelled and it is definitely taking me some time to get my feet back under me but we have been doing…

After a season on the slopes I decided it was time to hit the beach, so, I went on hiatus to heal in Hawaii.  The full schedule of hiking, surfing, paddle boarding, rock running and absorbing some good old ocean water and sun my body and mind feel like they are in a good place…
