Thank you mom and dad for spending countless hours training, encouraging, and believing in me. Thank you wzmontavon for always being only a phone call away. Thank you Chet for showing me just how much potential there is, teaching me how to set up skis, and to love the process as much as the competition. Thank you George for sharing your years (and years and years 😉) of knowledge and experience with me. Thank you goodeskis and stokesskis for upholding such a high standard of quality in both products and partnership. Thank you to all the women I ski against. When once of us does better, we all do better. And most of all, thank you sisland31 for loving me through it all. ❤️ As a junior I could only dream about being “good enough” to ski in a world championship. The closest I ever came was missing the cutoff by one spot in tricks. To go, make the finals, and come out 8th in the world was such a motivating experience. Of course I had so much more in the tank, but this is the first of many, and standing on the dock with literally all of the best in the world was my favorite experience to date. Can’t wait for the next one 🤘🏼🇺🇸
