Christmas break was very nice to me and it was good to be home. I had a couple weeks off and took full advantage of it. It snowed some in Boise so I was able to go kite skiing right in town so that was very cool. I spent a lot of time with the family and played with my nephew as much as I could. I spent New Years in Las Vegas, which was a cool thing to do because there are people everywhere and there is lots of fun stuff going on. I’m now in Wengen, Switzerland getting ready for the World Cup DH that will take place here in a few days. This is the birthplace of ski racing, it is one of the big ones so wish me luck and ill let you know how it goes.

Val Gardena First Top 10
Well I came into Val Gardena, Italy a couple of weeks ago not sure if I was going to even race, but when I left I had the best 2 races of my career. The first race of the World Cup Series in Val Gardena was the SG and I was lucky enough to get a start. I started in the 40’s and I came down into 20th place marking my best result to date in a world cup ski race. The fallowing day I was also given a starting position by the coaching staff. I started in the very back at bib 52nd. I had a very great run and was able to top my best result the day before with a 7th place, my first top 10 of my career. It was a lot of fun and it was really special to make history with the other guys by having 5 American’s in the top 10. Bode 2nd, Marco 4th, Fisher 7th, Nyman 9th, Lanning 10th!
