my little dream catcher, chasing you around, smiles, bubbles of joy, giggles of laughter, salty splash, sun beams, cupcakes and crepes, tea, cars, learning, chatting up family style, venting, love, music pure happiness. Thanks for an amazing day family!
Had a great couple days training in Bormio Italy and feel like I had some break through skiing. Its always good to get some great training in and the weather and food were amazing. Now reorganizing for the next month of non stop racing! Love it!

Got to have a ski date with Lasse and man he is ripping. So crazy how fearless these kiddies are. Takes them a week or two to get the the next level of fearlessness. Loving it. Took some runs down the course and his tuck is better than mine. Mamma Sarah has taught him well! Its very scary to ski around these big resorts with the little ones. People zooming around like crazy. Between Fed Sarah and I we managed to get him down safely but I do understand why the US is so strict on “SLOW” skiing areas. Sketchy! Family day with a lovely dinner is hard to beat! Here are some self portraits Lasse and I took!
It was such a great couple weeks at home and racing in the US. I want to keep that positivity and excitement going. I am bummed a couple team mates are staying back in the US to do some other races but hope they rip it and get their butts back to europe so I have some buddies! Always hard to be away on the road all the time. I always miss my love and wish I had billions to fly my friends around and travel with me but thats just not reality so instead its a mission to explore and adventure solo!
Our next trip is to Andorra. I am so excited for the next part of racing because I think we are going to be moving around a lot more and going to awesome places. Will Brandenburg was on my first flight in the US on his way to Russia and we go to Andorra which is a new country for me. So we are all over the world ready to conquer. I love going to new places, new sights and new experiences. Its going to be fun!
As for my new addiction. Kevin got me an IPhone for christmas and it may have taken me a while to ditch the box but I totally can’t stop using the camera. How did it take me this long to get one?? I need to download some more photo apps or else Sarah is going to kill me for using the “antique” look to often. It definitely makes it easy to shoot all the little bits from our travels
Such a great week. It was amazing. I had a great week off at home with family and found myself a bit and then headed to Vail to race some Nor-Ams where I did really well. I am sooooo happy. I got my first win in a GS Nor-Am and the skiing was just beautiful. The sun, the snow the people, all the love from all my coaches, my man, family, team mates and all my peps back home in Jackson really helped me get through some tough times and its coming out really well. Its for sure something to believe in. I will never stop believing. The people who push you and the people who stand by you and make sure you are supported are the most important ones! Thanks to you all a million times!
Kevin is here in this beautiful place…..
While Im here…..
Doing this……
What would you choose? What a lucky person gets to choose between such amazing places around the world! When ever I am feeling unlucky or down then I always have to slap myself and remember I live a crazy life and the best part about it is the fact that I can go anywhere in the world and play.
I haven’t actually left the house since I got to home so these shots are a scam, they are from another powder day but it is snowing a lot here in Jackson and its beautiful as ever and I did get outside to dig out my house a bit. Other than that I am enjoying some serious rest relax hide in my cabin time. It feels great, letting your body and mind just unwind. Doing things that calm me down and just kinda laying around. Its amazing how a little rest will make you come alive and become more inspired! Good things to come!

Its the middle of winter, spring is just around the corner and we are half way done with the season. I have had such an interesting one. Always love that things are never dull around here. With a few weeks of training and some play I feel ready for this second half! Hopefully it will go a bit smoother than the first.
One of the reasons I keep coming back and why I love ski racing is the work. I love the fact that we get up and go to work out in the crisp mountain air all around the world. Mountains are so powerful, they are so bold and majestic and hold so much of my soul in them. I love how far you can see when you are on top of one and how the light looks against the white caped peaks.
Whenever things get a bit to crazy or lonely I find such peace high up in the thin air as it whips my hair around and I send myself flying down the mountain. Only then does my blood settle and I can breathe again.
Im excited to change up the mountain ranges a bit and head to Kranjska Gora for a world cup this weekend and then HOME! Im ready for a break. Drive a truck, sleep in my cozy bed in my cabin in the woods and have some good home made meals from my pops, cousin and Uncle! Can’t lie Im Soooooooooooo excited to get home!
