First photos from Ostersund, Sweden

filling in the blanks

It’s time to fill in the blanks about my 2010-2011 ski season. Since my last post was in December, it appears that I have not fully grasped the concept behind blogging.  The most important aspect of blogging is the update, something I have failed miserably to do this winter. I am claiming laziness, lack of interest, Calculus 265 and Frazen’s new book as the leading culprits in this failure. So, to sum up the season, I have posted some photos scoured from the great depths of the internet over the past few months.  The captions should pretty much tell the story! 

So close! I ended up missing the World Championships by this much.

So after a disappointing trials race it was Off to the Nor-Ams! Mt Orford- Kelowna- Ottawa for three weeks of mini-tours. I ended up winning 5 races and winning the World Cup spot for the spring.

Sweet- I made it to Falun, Sweden for the World Cup finals, just in time for it to snow 10cms right before the start of the Murderbakken 3km prologue. Herringbone time!
