OC Ski Team

Most of you know about my ski obsession.  I spent just about every winter weekend up in Tahoe (except for the weekend I was skiing in Vail with my brother).  I'm not sure, however, if I have mentioned that this winter I raced in my first slalom event for the OC.  I had my rookie race at Squaw out on Exhibition and had so much fun dodging gates and pretending to be Julia Mancuso. 

It was a pretty decent day on the course for a rookie ... I placed into 7s, finished in first place, and have plenty of opportunity to strike next season and work my way up.  Does that mean I earned a tiara?

See if you can find me in the above pic.  Hint:  unlike Waldo in stripes, this kid is in plaid (Um, and still wearing my helmet?). 

Can't wait for next winter already and a season on the new sticks!
