Mau took me on the adventure of a lifetime in Jackson Hole! I attended the "Steep & Deep" camp put on my Adaptive Adventures. It was amazing skiing, Mau even said I had a break though! I learned how to finally ski powder, which is something I have dreaded in the past.

We had a great race in Park City, Utah last week! This was my last disabled race of the season, it went by way to fast. However, my training is only just beginning. I still have a few weeks left on the snow, even an able bodied SL race to attend in April. And then I'm off to "da  UP" for a summer of the gym and traveling to dry land camps with Team Summit.

Road trip! Me, Jess, and Katrina load the car for our eight hour drive to Park City, Utah for our next big race! Wish us luck..

Today was a powder day at Copper kinda day.

This past weekend I helped out at a Stars of Tomorrow Camp held by Adaptive Adventures.  It was a great long weekend filled with good skiing and awesome kids!

I defended my title at the Stiler-Meyers Cut two weeks ago at Schuss Mountain in Downstate Michigan! This was my second year at this race, and my second year winning! The trophy is on display at the National Ski Hall of Fame in Ishpeming Mi. It was great to get the opportunity to ski in the midwest again. It was typical Michigan weather- snowing so hard you could barley see in front of you! Oh, and lets not forget about the sheet of pure ice under that foot of fresh powder, yep typical Michigan skiing! 

Between skiing and the gym my favorite pass time is knitting, I think I am starting to be known as the "crazy hat lady" at ski races.

After my race in New Hampshire I was given a week off to spend at home, and what a great week that was! To add to spending time with family and friends, I was also given the opportunity to check out the BOSS headquarters, where there I got to shake hands with some of the employee's and take a tour through the factory. I cannot thank BOSS enough for the opportunities they are allowing me to have! 

I am on my way to my very first race of the season, and I couldn't be more excited! After weeks of hard training with Mau and Team Summit, I feel ready to make my debut in the disabled race circuit. Just yesterday I did a  forerun for an able bodied race at Copper, and I felt strong. Let's hope this continues on all week! I am not only excited that this is my first race of the season, but this will be my first race ever with disabled athletes. Growing up I have mainly competed with able bodied people, so it is just  incredible to be able finally go head to head with my own peers. Wish me luck!

I think it is safe to say Christmas was a little different for us this year.
