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.

would you like a side of snow with that?

This post is going to be short, but with lots of pictures. I have been working hard at getting healthy these past few weeks, and it seems like I am finally getting somewhere, I am also now convinced that I have experience the wrathe of the H1N1... (OH NOOO!!!) well I think. I know reports say that it affects people differently, but if anyone is affected like I was, trust me, its no biggy. This flu bug hit me no worse than the regular flu. Yes it put me out of commission for a week, and i felt less than pleasant for 4 days, but thats it. Period. Now that I am healthy in my head and body which most important, and I am back to training as well as ever! The focus now that snow flakes are in the air and in the plans, is to train smart and rest even more smartly. Here in whistler, there has been snow on the ground, and in the forecast a few times over the past weeks, but long term, nothing yet which drive us skiers to travel to find skiable snow at this time of year. With the first races about a month away, we have that 'urge' to have 'white stuff' under our feet.This week is shaping up as one of the more exiting ones of the year so far for me, because on saturday, we hit the road to head to Silverstar mount
ain near Vernon BC, where they are reporting mid winter conditions! http://www.skisilverstar.com/ check the webcams, a thing of devine beauty!
That is my short post, now the pictures come!
