First Tracks

Hi All,

What a weekend! I got my first tracks of the season in on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving! The conditions were phenomenal - it was like it was mid-February. I skied with my father and brother, Matthew. We did everything from White Way and What's Next (our beginner trails) to Upper Whistler and Lower Wolverine (our intermediate trails). As the day went on the trails began to get a bit icy and skied off, so we called it a day rather early both days. We were not in midseason form and did not feel it would be smart to stay out without building up our endurance.

I could not believe how nice the snow was! Windham Mountain definitely made a lot of improvements in its snowmaking capabilities. Now, I am already looking forward to finishing my finals so I can hit the slopes once again in mid-December. I figured I would share some of the pictures I took over the course of the weekend with you as well:

It was such a nice background for a picture. I couldn't resist!


I would like to take the time to wish everybody who is planning on attending the Disabled Ski Spectacular in Breckenridge a great trip. I would like to congratulate Staci, one of my teammates, who received a scholarship to attend a race camp during the event! Her guide, Ally, is also going, as well as the head coach of the race team, Mary Bozzone. I am also aware that Kim, Tom, and Adam will be making the trip out there. I wish the aforementioned people along with everyone else from ASF who is going out there has a safe trip! Have a ball!

I hope you all have a great week!

Let it snow!
