(Thanks Marc!)
I took the plunge and signed-up for the downhill training (three days) that ended with a USSA Masters race on the fourth day. I just returned home and I am still excited about the event – I learned a lot and the whole learning process is what made those four days so meaningful. I ranked in the middle of the pack but still, it was a great event and I had several breakthroughs that made those few days very worthwhile for me.
What made the event so much fun is that my closest friends came to see me and to ski a bit at Ski Cooper. They probably didn’t realize it but their presence on the side of the race course was an incredible booster for me.

Martin,
I’m amazed what you can do.
