Top ten finish!

As some of you may already know I've been on the sidelines injured for nearly 3 years and started to make my comeback this season. Well I have good news...it's moving in the right direction! I have been on the Europa Cup tour, which is basically like the Minor Leagues of skiing one step below the World Cup. Our last competition was in a small Northern Italian town called Sarntal where I finished 8th in the last Downhill. This was a big step for me considering I haven't raced much in the past 3 years, and it showed me that I can still ski with some of the best skiers in the World. This result gives me a better starting position in the next Europa Cup, which is next week in Chamonix, France. I hope to bring you more good news then. Here's a pic from the start of the downhill...not a bad view from my office!

Awesome to hear the comeback is going well! Keep it up!

That is a sweet photo. What is that machine in the right corner of the photo? Is it a clock? Wind? Weather?

It's a clock so you can read how much time you have before you are allowed to leave the start. The interval between each racer ranges from 1 to 2 minutes so it's nice to see the time.

Beautiful Pic! Good luck the rest of the way!

sweet pants! a patriotic spiderman

Any plans for the Winter X Games next year?

as of now i have no plans to compete in the x games. downhill is crazy enough for me right now and unfortunately isn't a part of the x games, even though, in my opinion it's the most extreme event in skiing.

Great News, buddy! Glad to hear your hard work is starting to pay off!
