First Training camp

I am almost through my first training camp of the year. We started out with two weeks of skiing in Bend Oregon. Bend is a great place for spring skiing becuase there is so much snow left over from the winter that we can usually ski up until June on decent conditions. The whole US Ski team was on hand for two weeks of training starting with skiing workouts in the morning working a lot on technique, distance,  and dry land training in the afternoon. 

From Bend most of the team flew to Park City for a few days of testing. This time of year we like to get into the lab and get some tests done including a V02max test and strength testing. Its helpfull to get spring time base fitness test in so that we can see how much we can improve throughout the summer. I will be in PC for another week taking advantage of living at high altitude and training with my coaches at the COE!

Come out and train!

Spring time...

Well spring time is coming to an end which means for the past few weeks I've been taking some time off from ski training. For me this usally means headig south to find warm weather and big waves. This year we went back to Costa Rica.

Tour De Ski

The Bank of Bennington

I'm proud to announce a new sponsorship with an amazing company The Bank of Bennington. This is exciting for me because this is the first time in my career I have had the opportunity to race on behalf of a local business from the town that I grew up in. I was born in Bennington and have lived in Shaftsbury my whole life and receive a tremendous amount of support from folks in the area. This sponsorship is an example of that support and it gives me great pride to be racing on behalf of a southern Vermont company and to be a hometown skier representing the hometown bank.

It's my goal that together with The Bank of Bennington we will be able to promote the Bennington area around the world and also have more opportunities to work together giving back to the local community. 

Thanks to The Bank of Bennington!
