About Me

Whistler, BC, Canada
Cliché is defined as "a trite, or stereotyped expression" they have become thus because they never fail. Belief is the key to success... born in waterloo, i moved to the small village of Eden Mills just outside of guelph for the beggining of the 21st century. i started cross country skiing roughly at the age of 2 or 3 and ever since it has been part of my life one way or another. at the age of 7 i entered my first competition and at that time it was always just for the fun. at the age of 10 imoved to france for a year with my sister where we both took part in school and completed my first year without any skiing, which it turns out might have cost me a bit of time when i decided to get more serious into it when i came back, because i was at the back of the pack in every race when i had come back from france. i was however, tenatious in the years after that big and life changing experience. i kept to it, and slowly, but steadly climbed up the field of skiers, which brings me to where i am now.

narrowing the focus with snow in the air!

A few days ago, skiers in Canmore starting skiing, only a 400m loop, but skiing non the less.
Here in Whistler, we don't have such snow making capabilities, as we rely 100% on natural snow. We also, being on the west coast, don't have the cold temperatures that those albertans have. So the result is we are not skiing on white stuff yet. It still wet cold pavement under our rollerskis.
These past few weeks have not been the most stellar for me health wise, so the training has suffered. I am at the tail end of this virus, and so, getting ready for training tomorrow, and really pumped and stoked about getting the FAST on. As the snow approaches, because it has teased me several times on the mountains, i get more and more exited to race. There is lots going on in my life right now, all involving skiing still, just as the fall rolls on and winter is coming gear is coming in, business is picking up at the shop, and training is getting really fun. It has been a while since my last update, but with the last couple weeks mediocre, I don't have any awesome training stories. This will change. Till next time.
