Prepping for 2012-13 Season- Ski Transition

Throughout my entire skiing career, whether it is telemark or alpine, I have always appreciated the equipment I use. Yet, when it comes to racing, it is definitely time to say goodbye to my mid-fat K2 She-Devils…While I have well-loved these skis for the bumps, trees and steeps-they are not quit up to par with current racing skis.

Recovery Season

The wait, I hope is over. I missed competing in the 2011-12 season after sustaining an injury in early February. It's funny how injuries happen. I didn't even think I was hurt when I took a fall on a groomed run on my homehill, Whitefish Mountain Resort. I wasn't training or competing.

Fall In The Wasatch

It seems to have started to cool off in Utah, though temps in mid-80s may not seem all that cool to a lot of you. Just what the doc ordered after one HOT summer! I've spent a lot of time up in the mountains over the last week or so for various reasons, and I am always reminded of just how much I love them. I have been very busy with work the last month ...

Outdoor Retailer – Day 3

Today was the third day of the Outdoor Retailer industry trade show here in SLC. Elisabeth and I have spent a couple hours each day wandering the exhibitors/vendors. It always amazes me with the amount of really, REALLY cool gear there is out there-for EVERYTHING! Honestly, it feels like there could not be the continual evolution and creation of products ...
