My Skiing History:

I started cross country skiing when I was three and, even then, I think I was trying to telemark. When I was five, I went downhill skiing for my first time. I went with my dad, who had found a pair of telemark skis at the “swap shop.” When I was eight, my family moved to Plymouth, NH, and we were able to ski at Cannon Mountain on a regular basis for the first time. I skied on alpine skis for a year, and switched to telemark the next. Two years later I went to my first telemark race.

My Goals and Motivation:

Because of the pandemic I didn’t get any time in a course last season, so I’d just like to get to race this year.

What I love about Telemark Racing and Skiing:

A properly executed telemark turn can be really satisfying, the adrenaline helps too of course.

Interesting Facts About Myself:

I really don’t like warm weather, and I enjoy writing software.
