ON THE SLOPES

It was a beautiful day in Lake Louise for the final training run of the Women's Downhill. I am used to temperatures in the minus 20's so it was a balmy minus 3 at the bottom.

Kelly is finally back on snow and you wouldn't know watching her that she is still recovering from the knee injury that knocked her out of last winters Olympic Games. She is here working with CBC for the races and enjoying her first few days back on snow.

Today was bitter sweet as the joy of watching Kelly back in her world was tempered by the fact that today is the one year anniversary of my Mothers passing. I miss her every day but today is especially hard.

Back to the water on monday but for now it is a mental break and a visit to winter life.
