The Fast Lane: Big Snow in AK!

Merry Christmas! Hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far and are enjoying the snow. We have just had our first FIS race series at Alyeska. It was lots of fun, many athletes traveled from different places to make up a great field.

We pulled off three races out of four before the weather turned, and we had to cancel the last GS race. I was happy with the way I skied, but left lots of room for improvement. I had a 10th and 12th place finish in Slalom. I was in 10th in the first run of GS and felt like I could move up a couple spots, but had some trouble in my 2nd run and ended up 12th. The three races improved my points, which was one of my goals so I am happy!

We are having a huge snow year in Alaska with several feet in the last couple of weeks. My team has been training hard over the winter break for our upcoming races. January will be a very busy month. I am planning on racing in the Mammoth speed series, then meeting up with some of my teammates from the Valle Nevado ski team from Chile, in Vail to train for about a week and practice my Spanish, before heading to Park City for some Tech races. I am very excited to compete in the races and hopefully will see some of you!
