It’s been way too long since I ‘ve been on here last. It’s been a crazy winter. Some of you may have been following me on www.unofficialsquaw.com . I’ve had some technical issues that have kept me from making updates here, but I’m back.

Well it’s March 9th and I’m hanging out in the Unofficial house resting up for one of my final comps of the season. I started off in Chamonix with Tim Dutton, JT Holmes and some of the official unofficial guys. It was a good time but my comp did not go as well as I had hoped. I guess my head wasn’t really in it when I was over in Europe. I was skiing ok, but not good enough. So the results were the same, ok but not good enough.

After a fun but somewhat disappointing trip in Europe I was back to Squaw for the third stop of the tour. Well kind of, I was first on the wait list hoping to get in. They made me sweat for it. After a few no’s they finally decided to give me a chance! Well it was pretty much all or nothing from that point on. I knew I really had to prove myself if I was ever going to be able to compete on this tour again.

It was the morning of the comp and it had been once again moved to Silverado instead of the Tram Face due to poor avalanche conditions. I wasn’t in much of a rush to get up to the course. I had a pretty good idea of where I wanted to go I just wanted to see some of the guys runs first. Most of them where going into the area I wanted to. I was concerned about landing in their bomb holes so I decided to go over them, well, atleast try. My plan was to go from the top. I spoke to Jimbo my Electric TM and he said as long as I went straight from some of the pepper at the top I should be fine. Well after landing an ok size cliff I headed straight for that pepper and like Jimbo said let it run from there!

I landed and bounced again another 20 feet or so. When I landed on my feet again I was a bit surprised to still be on my feet. I guess I was just so determined to prove myself and land it that I did. It was in the same area that a lot of men had bounced and not been as successful as me. After run 1 I was in the lead for both the women and men!
