Switzerland, Latvia, Estonia? YES please!!

I arrived yesterday back in Salt Lake after a 2 week trip to Whistler, British Columbia and Canmore, Alberta. The races in Whistler were qualifiers to travel with the Canadian team to OPA and Scandinavian Cup races in Campra, Switzerland (Feb 3-5), Madonna, Latvia (Feb 8-9) and Albu, Estonia (Feb 11-12). My 4th in the 15km pursuit and 3rd in the 10km classic earned me a spot on the team! The trip leaves on Sunday for two weeks and I'll be traveling with 2 other girls and 4 guys. I'm psyched! A huge thanks to the Rocky Mountain Racers crew who took me on as one of their own, looked out for me, made my skis wicked fast and gave me bomber kick!

One of the many fun things about ski racing...the friends you make from all over the world!

Speed skating at the Olympic oval in Calgary instead of skiing in the -35C outside temps, brrrrrr

Check back for updates. While I'm in Europe the rest of the Stella girls will be ripping it up at the Boulder Mountain Tour in Sun Valley, ID and Owl Creek Chase in Aspen, CO!
