Spring Series Recap
After another really long, international travel day, and getting into Craftsbury at 1:40am, I managed to get a few hours of sleep before heading to the venue with the team for my first of 6 days of skiing in Vt. Tuesday-Saturday were all largely the same in terms of...
OPA Cup Finals Recap
Wow-wow-wow, and just like that my first international trip has come to an end! 12 days packed with new experiences, good times, and Spring racing! Coming into this trip there was really only one main objective; gain experience/ “collect data” about international...
World Champs 2023!!
After the Birkie I took one chiller of a day in the Midwest before flying to Slovenia on Monday. The travel was surprisingly well and when I arrived in Slovenia around 8am on Tuesday I went directly to the race venue. It was nice to be forced to walk around learn the...
Birkie- cheese curds
So I got to Wisconsin and bought some cheese curds to help with my Birkie prep. The curds were honestly pretty sub par. I later found out they were from Minnesota, which likely explains the lack of squeak. Photo cred: Rooted StudiosThe Birkie, as always, was an...

US National Championships
If you asked me last March if I’d be racing another US Nationals I would have said it was very unlikely. I also wouldn’t have predicted that I would be ski coaching. I guess the way things fell into place I am psyched to be where I am and grateful I’m still getting...
