Thanksgiving: Time for Racing!

Well snow is on the ground in Salt Lake and it is about time too. The resorts are opening up and the general public has officially given up their dreams of forever summer. Not that any ski racer ever wanted that but I know tons of people who did.

Thanksgiving is next week and for me that means that I just finished one final and I have three more to come. So in case you were wondering, yes, this blog is a procrastination tactic. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year. It represents that time in between fall conditioning and right before the ski season. It also represents that cheerful spirit before Christmas—my favorite time of year.

So as I sit here getting ready to play some indoor tennis I though I would tell people about that nervous excitement that precedes the season. The nerves are building as races go from a month to weeks away. Rowmark finished their Loveland camp last week during which I had a ton of fun and made some really good improvements. I saw tons of kids from Whistler Cup and Pokal Loka as well as from the general ski racing community and it was great to catch up.

My first race is in December and I’m getting nervous about now. Don’t get me wrong; this is one of my favorite times of year. I think I just want the season to start already! So sit back and eat some turkey, drink some cocoa, go skiing, the season is here and my first race is just around the corner!
