About Me

My photo
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.

pre nationals...

To my great enjoyment, the National Championships this year were held in a place I had never been! This to me is always one of the highlights of racing. I have discovered more of Canada from traveling to ski races, than any other way. This new place was the great white north... so I thought. As far north as it is, there are no igloos, or great, vast frozen oceans. it is merrily a place which is a little colder than where I am from, and the sun light is incredible! The huge mountains are far from intimidating, they are not steep as I am used to in whistler, they don't block the view, the just enhance it. The majestic slopes are deceivingly long and large, and the peaks, in the region, are the highest in the country. Yet the huge Panoramas are appreciated with the sun not setting until 8:30 to 9:00. Enough said, I was simply blown away!
I will leave the suspense for photos to come.
until than.
