Canadian Cross Country Skier
Coming up on one month post Tour de Ski I am finally feeling fully recovered from this grueling 7-day stage event. By the time I made it to the top of Alpe Cermis on the final stage of the Tour, I was feeling proud of myself for just finishing, which is not a feeling you …
Ski season? Almost. That starts next week when Frozen Thunder gets rolled out at the Canmore Nordic Center. For the last few months we have been focused on dry-land training, roller skiing, running and cycling. Our second National Ski Team altitude camp has just wrapped up which means I'm now taking a few days of …
March 2022- Mixed gender racing finally made its debut at the World Cup level, we had the return of Canadian Ski Nationals after two years of cancelations, and as this Olympic quadrennial came to a close there were many tearful goodbyes to longtime teammates and coaches who are moving onto new adventures.

All team training camps were cancelled, flying on planes has gone from a monthly occurrence for me to almost zero, and interprovincial/territorial travel has become a maze of hoops and hurdles. Despite the added complications, summer 2020 has been great from a training standpoint. I …
In early July, after the National Team training camp in Canmore, I went home to Whitehorse to rest and recharge before the next training block skiing on the Haig glacier and an intensity focused period back in Canmore. After an unusually cold spring in Canmore, it was great to head north for some heat and …
Another whirlwind winter in the books, 9 countries, 31 races and 15 flights later, I was ready for some rest. During April, I was able to spending some quality time at home in Whitehorse as well as take a spring road trip down the Washington and Oregon coast. As May approached and it was time …
This weekend was my first time back racing in Germany since my international racing career began at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Hinterzarten, Germany.
