I can still remember standing at the finish line thinking of my dad ,my uncle bill ,and Mau my ski coach. When the man at the starting gate said...5...4...3...2...right when he said 1 i pushed out of the starting gate as hard as i could and felt that no one could stop me. I was happy with my time andcouldn't stop smiling. I will never forget that day.

Someone Special I Met.
When i was in Vermont with the AIG ski tour, i met someone really special to me. Her name is Kathy Celo. She was in charge of the camp that i was in and im happy she was because i had the time of my life. Kathy was special to everyone there. Everyone appriciated her because she got us whereever we needed to go on time and ready. Not only that, we had fun with her too.
The camp was as much fun as it was because of Kathy. I can not wait to go to that camp next year and meet that special person again.

My Last Trip:(
Every day we would get up at 6:00am and be ready for breakfast at 7:00am. After we ate brekfast we would rush back to our rooms and get our equipment to lode up in my dads truck. There were 6 of us all together with 2 monoskiers(sit down skiers). We would all be out on the slopes around 8:30 ready for training. We usually trained on a race corse that Mau and AK set up. We practice a GS corses (wide long turns) and Slolom (short quick turns). There is Down Hill skiing too but you reach speeds of 80 mph so i dont do that............yet. We all train all day with a 45 min lunch at 12:00pm and of corse were all again, out shreding the mountians untill
3:oopm or 4:00pm however long we could go. When we reach the hotel again, we got dressed for dinner but first went to a team meeting to discuse what we did wrong or what we have to work on for the next day. Then we eat dinner...finally! When we go to our rooms we threw our pajamas on and crash in bed, then did the whole scedule over again!
So that was the regular scedule but there was always something in between to slow us down.For example the gas went out in breakfast so we could only have waffles and they took forever to cook, tha tmade us late. Then my room key diddent work(i dont know why)but i had to run up to the front office and ask for a new one. On the slopes is a different story.The gates (the poles you hit on slolom) seem to hate you. They come at you fast and wack you right in the face. Or like Sherwood, clips the gate and flips in the air over the finish line and doesn't even get a score because he went over the eye( the lazer that you go throught to get your time). Or me who flip and slides under the eye and doesnt get a time. Either way they both try to slow us down. Also two days from race day i hiperextended my knew and had to ice it everynight. Man that hurt!!!!!
Know I am geting ready for next years training by having fund raisers to raise money for the camps. Im having a motercycle run June 1st. Contact my mom,Deb, for more information at
