This mid-season Europe trip was different than any I have taken before; we raced a lot and it felt like we were constantly loading and unloading the van. Building confidence, working hard, finding my love of ski racing, tears, pain, fast runs, slaying mental demons and over coming challenges! Now for a few off days…

Ski racing, as with life, is a mix of good and bad days.  In this past month I have had some good results in super g and slalom but have had to put some extra time in figuring out my giant slalom.  Sometimes it is best to just take a step back, start from the…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Anyone who has ever partied with ski racer chicks would never call them ladies. A woman who can squat 400 pounds and shin gates at 50 miles an hour is not a lady, she’s a Motherfu**** Amazon Warrior. -PowderMag As we head to Aspen this weekend for my second world cup of the…

After Aspen, I wanted to keep practicing racing so I went to Jackson Hole with the Europa cup girls and had a blast! I want to thank everyone who keeps believing in me and going out of their way to help me with my skiing and on my journey.  The past couple of weeks and…
