First Day on the Hill!! And dressing up

Busy times! 
The most exciting news- I finally got back on the Atomics after 1 year and 8 months of not skiing/recovering from my micro-fracture and ACL surgery (mainly to allow the cartilage to regrow/heal). The longest I haven't skied in my entire life! I was actually nervous, and believe it or not, pretty wobbly feeling standing in the line up to head up Red chair. That's embarrassing to say.... But- I redeemed my confidence after a couple runs! I only did 3, but the knee felt solid. YES I am so excited for this winter !
Not to mention- Davey and I got to try out our new Lazer helmets for the first time with our Oakley goggles. They fit great together. 

It was such a great feeling to get back on the snow !!

A few other things have happened over the last week and a bit...Davey and I got to help out Ashleigh with her retirement announcement. She did a great job, and I as hard as it is to leave something that we have all focused our life around for the last 6 years, we are all excited for our next phase of life. 




I got to get all dressed up a few times for Cornucopia ...

Look who I found... Kristy Mitchel is a fellow host for RTOWN Communications all feathered up at the High Roller's Party

And dressed up again...(caught me using the same dress...) for the Gold Medal Plates dinner. It's always a great night, especially because we get to eat great food, drink delicious wines and catch up with fellow Olympians. 

This is a shot of Joy Fera (amazing woman and Olympic rower) and I.

ALSO- for my last RTOWN Communications hosting gig, I got to experience a Skeleton ride! What a crazy rush! I think I pulled a neck muscle from the G-Forces. John Fairbairn, Mellissa Hollingsworth and Cassie Hawrysh were all there from the national team to give me tips.

There, all caught up I think. I'll be done school next week, then I'll be heading to Nakiska for the first World Cup Ski Cross event to commentate and see my old teammates :) Excited to see everyone.
