21st Soelden FIS World Cup PGS

I finished 21st at the FIS World Cup PGS race on Sunday in Soelden, Austria. It was a fun race. The conditions and weather were perfect. I wanted to be on the podum of course, but am o.k. with my finish. Nine weeks after breaking my ankle and limited training on my new gear didn’t help. It was a good Euro trip. I made the finals in Landgraaf in slalom and had a solid race in Soelden. I know with some more time on my new boards in the gates I’ll be ready to rule it in December. I’ll be working hard the weeks ahead, strengthening my ankle and dialing in my gear.

Mark your calanders Thursday Oct. 26th for the local Aspen kick-off party for the Summit for Lifeat the Cantina in downtown Aspen from 5-8 pm. Summit for Life is weekend of winter athletics and donor awareness activites centered around Storm the Stars, a unique night time uphill race Dec. 2nd on Aspen mountain followed by a celebration, concert and awards at the Sundeck atop Aspen Mtn.

I’m stoked to be back home in Aspen. I’m looking forward to a trip to Moab this weekend to ride my new Specialized Enduro. Have a great week. Talk to ya soon,
