Home Hill: Nakiska
Favorite Hill: Big White
Best Crash: Wow, so many to choose from! The most spectacular took place at Norquay. I was racing in a FIS GS and a course worker had duct taped a GS Panel to both gates because of the wind. I got way off line and straddled the gate. The panel caught on my boot and caused me to do a front walkover with both my skis on. I had some VERY bruised shins, ripped a hole in my downhill suit and broke my Favorite pair of Race Skis. I was not a happy camper, but my coach did get it all on video!
Favorite Event: Slalom and Downhill
Pet Peeve on the Hill: People who don't alternate in the lift line!
Favorite Coaching Memory: the most recent would be last season, watching my group of little athletes take everything they had learned all season and absolutely come ALIVE in the dual race on the last weekend. I had to practically drag them out of the course!
