Errol Kerr will Ski for Jamaica, the Land of his Father

This past ski season was just awesome. I got an opportunity to travel with the United States Ski Team and represent my country (not only just myself) in international ski competitions. Growing up as a ski racer, you spend your whole life dreaming of that. At the beginning of this year, I finally had the opportunity to compete in my first World Cup. That was one of the more memorable days of skiing in my life. I woke up that day knowing that I was going to have an opportunity to compete against the best skiers in the world. That day I started 89th in my first World Cup, and when it all was over, and the snow had settled, I had made it to 12th. And just as soon as it began, it was all over.

This Spring I went to Jamaica to pursue a long term dream of mine to represent the land of my father in international ski competitions, and thanks to the help of countless kind, caring, and compassionate people in Jamaica, that dream is now coming true. There are still some bumps in the road to be smoothed out, and some unfinished business to be done, but the fact of the matter is: Errol Kerr will be representing Jamaica, the land of his father in the upcoming World Cup season.

Congratulations, and welcome to the Yard.

Thank you. It should be a good time.

Interested to hear what the process is and what still needs to get smoothed out?

The process is switching your nationality with the FIS which is the governing body over skiing. And you are only allowed to switch once in your life. But that process is all done now. What needs to be smoothed out is getting the proper sponsors together to make this feasible.

congratulations,out of many we are one looking forward to your many achievements Eternal Father bless you as you bring your gifts to the land of your father

Thank you so much for your support. Stay tuned in the upcoming months. It could get exciting. I hope to have some video up on my page in the next week.

What a beautiful prayer!

Best of luck. We look forward to watching you on TV and keeping up with your progress. Lisa - Blazers Ski Club, Philadelphia PA

Thank you Lisa, and the Blazers Ski Club of Philadelphia. Let's keep moving forward with the dream. Let's keep the dream alive.

Thanks for the support. Every little bit helps.

Errol, your decision was the right one. You have the opportunity to be assured of an Olympic berth and to gain recognition and publicity for something unique and special. We in Truckee are 100% behind and wish you nothing bu the very best. Keep the faith and keep up the hard work it will pay off.

Thanks man! Life's all about the journey, not the destination. And I believe this journey's gonna be an amazing one. Thanks to people like you and many others out there who are behind me, it's making my dreams come true.

Don't forget the National Brotherhood of Skiers!

Hey Bro, It's thanks to the NBS clubs nationwide including Winterfox of LA that I've reached where I'm at.

Congrats on being names to the Jamaican ski team. Both Tanner and I are looking forward to seeing you compete in the Winter Games. Like others have said please don't forget the NBS and the support you have been given and the support that you give to the younger ones in the NBS (like Tanner). I hope to see you and your mom in Mammoth again this season Dino White.

Dino, The NBS is such a big part of my life, and will always be. There was a fantastic showing of NBS members at the Deer Valley Ski Cross World Cup this year in Utah, and it was a great encouragement to me. Tell Tanner to ski fast, and we will see you at Mammoth in April 2009.

ERROL!
u are so sickkkkkkk!
