2013-2014 Ski Season Thank You

I really would like to Thank Everyone for you support for my up coming season. I am looking forward to be able to get to some races that are very expensive because of travel for both me and my coach.  I am hoping to be able to head out West for a couple NorAm races.
With the continuing support I will be able to get hopefully make my dream of making the Paralympic alpine ski team.

New Year

I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Years.  Race training at Adaptive Sports Foundation starts tomorrow. Looking forward to skiing with my coach Russ and a few other athletes that have been there though the holiday break.

Hartford Ski Spectacular National Race Festival

This week has been a wonderful experience.  I am in a group with 2 other female athletes and our head coach for the week is Sarah Wills.  We have had great weather all week. From snow to really cold to sunshine and beautiful.

This weeks focus was turn shape and body positions to help us with preparing for gates. We have also worked on more technical things like timing of turns and location of turns.


Tomorrow Saturday there is a level one race which I am looking forward to participating.

Articles Written by Bennington Banner

I have attached two articles done by the Bennington Banner on my Meet and Greet Event at Anytime Fitness and also A Talk at Monument Elementary School to the Children and Staff.


I really would like to Thank Derek Carson  and Peter Crabtree from the Bennington Banner on helping me get the work out into the community about my Journey.

Strength Training

This Spring, Summer and Fall I worked really hard at Anytime Fitness with my trainer Sean on a weekly basis and we were not only able to increase strength but endurance as well.  I was doing cardio work at least twice a week between riding my hand cycle and also the Octane which is very similar to an elliptical machine. 

I was able to also kayak once a week which helped me build some strength as well.
