After returning home from  Canadian Nationals I started my two week break from training.  Unfortunately I didn’t get to go to a tropical island, or float down the Grand Canyon, but instead got to spend my time in beautiful Sun Valley.  More than anything, these two weeks acted as a time for me to forget about skiing and just be a normal teenager, goofing off and having fun.  I stayed up late (which is a pretty big deal for me), didn’t wash my hands ALL the time, drank a coke, went downhill skiing, ate normal portions of food, and pretty much forgot about skiing.  Now, after that nice relaxation period, I’m working my way back into regular training. 

Riding up the chair: Taylor Sundali, Scott Krankkala, and me

My Ride, Stride, Glide team.  This was a fun race where teams of three (or independants) biked, ran, and skied a set course, and if they so desired they could take shots of alcohol to get time bonuses….unfortunately my team was made up of minors, but we managed just fine.   

The Figure Skating Team: Abi Holt, Chris Mallory, and Kate Whitcomb
