And so it begins...

Well, it's official! I'm on the road and sprinting full speed ahead towards March, with a packed winter events schedule. This blog will be a fun way for me to document my journey keep y'all informed of all the amazing events I get to be a part of on behalf of Sierra Nevada.

I'm super excited to be up here at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, British Columbia for the Canadian Freeskiing Championships with the Subaru Freeskiing World Tour.

I headed up the mountain to check out the venue for today's competition and wow--I've never skiied anything quite like this. The runs are incredibly long so although the resort only has a few lifts, you can literally ride forever down the mountain. I got to try out some fat skis for the very first time, and I was pleasantly surprised by their performance. Needless to say, I didn't really do them justice...but this season is all about pushing myself to take on bigger and badder slopes so I can hang with this awesome crew of athletes and outdoor event rockstars.

But it can't be all play and no work! We've got an athlete's meeting coming up to recap the day, go over tomorrow's event plan, and enjoy each other's company over some fine Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. British Columbia is a brand new market for us, and we were able to move the beer up here just in time for the event. Apparently the stuff is literally flying off the shelves.

Cheers, Canada!

For now, I'm settling into my "office" away from home...
