Summer is creeping to a close – as is my time at home, time with a job, time before school starts, and time to make decisions about the upcoming ski season. To alleviate the concerns and doubts that people have expressed about my future as a skier: I promise that I’ll be on the start line this winter. This…
Things happen all the time. Some things are good, some things are bad, and some things are more grey. And all things happen for a reason, right? A few things happened to me on Sunday, the most notable was probably breaking my leg (that’s what this post is mostly about, but please bear with me…
Just got home late last night from my first training camp with the Thunder Bay NDC crew. I’m going to keep this short because I have a mountain of schoolwork I need to plough through, ISUs to finish up and exams to start reviewing for. Yikes! I think I said it before but I’ll say…
Happy belated New Year everyone! I imagine most people have already pried themselves off the couch and are starting to get moving again. Track and field has always been one of my main motivators to stay active and not veg out too much in the springtime. Unfortunately, this year I wasn’t able to run track.…
It’s been a week of exciting racing out in Whistler for the 2013 Ski Nationals. Clear, sunny skies that are perfect for giving you that surprise sunburn that is deftly drawn across your forehead along your hat/headband line and around your sunglasses. That’s one reason why I’m glad my mum is here, to make sure…
Time seems to fly by once the snow hits. Or in the case of this season, hits then runs. Its been real hit and miss weather this year, before I went out west for the annual OST trip to Silver Star I spent a solid week on snow and it was looking like things were…
Now that I’m back home and have recovered from some of the craziness that came with my week long escapade to the mountains, I’m ready to sit down and hammer out the blog. When I first started blogging/rambling back whenever it began, I was all like “YA! lets do this, I’ve got so much cool…
Yesterday afternoon I touched down at YYC after some anxiety over whether or not I was actually getting on the flight and if my bags were going to show up. I figure that if you can get on a plane, not have any serious delays and have your bags show up at your destination then…
Okay so I lied. I said I was going to keep close record of all the fantasticness that was taking place during my last week of summer. I did not do this… May I offer my deepest condolences and humble apologies, I cannot even fathom how unbearable the let down was. But enough of this…
I did it. I am a survivor. 2 months, 8 weeks, 40 days, 310 hours, 18600 minutes or however many seconds of summer camp counselling and I still stand. There were definitely some rough patches over the course of the past couple months. Some challenging characters and situations. But all in all I’d say it…
