100% Epic Adventure

I never really thought I’d start a blog. I thought they were exclusively for those who had lives that others were interested in following or somehow living along with the blogger. But after being inspired by the revolutionary blogs of men like jon-olsson.com, warnernickerson.com, nymansworld.blogspot.com, and danloman.com, I figured I’d give it a shot. I’ll keep it updated with results, photos, videos, and some boring equipment stuff that I just need to put somewhere.

When I woke up this morning, I was prepared for what will probably be the greatest adventure of my life. But I was so happily surprised and gifted with a white blanket outside the window! It definitely reassured me that this is going to be an awesome day. Because, along with my dear friend Wilson Underkuffler, I am beginning a cross-country trip to Colorado for my first training camp of the year. I’m extra excited for this camp because it’s my first camp with my new team (Sugar Bowl Academy) and my new coach (Guenther Birgmann), which I’m hoping will mean a whole new page to my ski career. I feel really good about my equipment, my body, and my mind state after a good New Zealand trip in August and a nice conditioning block here at home. So it’s only fitting that the snow falls on a morning like this one, beginning a journey that actually shrinks in comparison to the grander one over the entire winter.

So I’m going to sign off and head out to breakfast, along with possibly fooling around with the cool features that blogger provides for my brand new page.

FIRST STOP: Cooperstown!
