After a short holiday break, a couple days of waist deep powder, and two concerts, its time to get back to business and head to the heartland of ski racing...Europe! For the next two months we will be traveling through Austria, Germany, Italy, and France racing the World's toughest mountains and get another taste of what the European Apres Ski scene has to offer! The stop I'm most looking forward to is Chamonix, France where I sustained a near career ending injury 3 years ago. It's time to face my fears and get revenge on the course that nearly took the sport of skiing away from me. As a downhiller fear is ever present, but it's also something that helps us realize what we're made of and gives us an adrenalin rush that puts smiles on our faces. For a long time I've been deprived of that rush but it's around the corner and I'm excited to share it with you soon!
In the meantime I feel compelled to show you my crash from 2005 where I sustained a tib/fib leg fracture and a broken hand. I was going about 70 mph when I crashed and ended up cartwheeling into the safety netting on the side of the course. I was immediately flown to the nearest hospital where I underwent the first of 8 surgeries to repair the damage. On the bright side of things I have a killer scar to prove it!
