A BIG thank you to Giovanni from PinkandGrey.ca who donated his time to help me on my quest for gold.  He is a phenominal individual who really knows his fashion (something I, until meeting up with Giovanni, knew nothing about)!  As you will see in the full size version of the picture above Giovanni really stepped up my game and he can step up yours too!

I know that I see myself as the last person to get invoved in Fashion, but I had to step up my image to give me extra credibility when meeting with potential sponsors.  For those of you who don’t know, I’m a self funded athlete.  My budget is over 60K/year for my world class training program.  A dozen sponsors will make my dream become a reality.  Who do you know who wants to help me financially achieve my dream?  Who do you know who can get me an opportunity to meet a reporter to get my story out!?  Fashion is one way that I have stepped up my sponsorship drive this spring thanks to Giovanni at PinkandGrey.ca

October 11 to November 22, 2008
Training camp in Tignes France
Before I went to France I knew that this training camp was going to make my season.  I had ample time to work on skiing tactics and technique as well as an opportunity to take advantage of living and training between 2150m and 3500m elevation.

I was in France with coaches Mike Lewis (Head coach, Team Supreme) and Mike Osatiuk (Red Mountain Racers) and athletes Cory Canart and Ross Nevison.  Tiziana Perni was my conditioning coach during this camp.  Spending six weeks in France at one place really can get quite long, but I made the most of it.  I focused on rebuilding my technique and getting it to a level where I am ready to race with high consistency.  My secondary focus was increasing my speed, agility and power.  When we got there, I get a full pass to the gym/pool/spa facilities and went nearly every day.  We had a few ‘weather days’ or shorter training session and I used them to hit the gym hard.  Other days when we had on-snow training all day or on a long training block I used the hot tubs and steam room to help my body recover so that I can come out day after day and get the most out of training.  I had a lot of fun and learned a lot.
