Another Solid Day

Today was another step in the right direction. Spent another day training GS up in Nakiska with Jan. Head was feeling good, the confidence in my skiing was starting to feel like my usual self. The weather was blue bird, snow conditions couldn't have been any better for getting the feeling back. I had four solid runs just shy of a minute. I wasn't feeling 100% but definitely everyday is feeling better so I'm confident everything will shape up for Feb 13th.

Congrats to Erik for a solid 5th place finish in the Kitzbuhel SG today! Lets hope for another solid result from Erik and Manny in the DH tomorrow!

Skiing in Nakiska

Good news. Today, joined up with Jan Hudec in Nakiska, Alberta for a little GS training. Felt good to be back on snow!!! Kept out of the gates and just free skied for 8 runs. The sun was out and the snow conditions couldn't have been any better. Tomorrow the plan is to keep with the momentum on the hill and hopefully move from free skiing to some gates. Wish I was in Kitzbuhel this week.... Would love to throw myself down that run but I guess will have to wait til next year!

Olympic DH 23 Days Away

After a little mishap at the beginning of January that left me with a minor concussion causing me to miss the two "Classic" Downhills, Im back in Calgary healing up and getting ready for February 13th. I must say having to miss the last two weeks has been pretty tough but based on how I was feeling, and what's coming up, made the most sense to come home and rest.

Thanks to my web designer Chris, he has made it a lot easier to update my website! I look forward to keeping you updated on a more regular basis.
