As the season starts to turn and we gear up for this coming winter, we have some exciting developments in the Ski Education world! As we are all aware, COVID-19 has generated lots of uncertainty and change in the way schools are functioning this academic year and Crosscut’s Ski Education program has made a number of updates as well.

Mixture of anything motivational, anything from Taylor swift to DMX depending on the mood.
I ride my bike a lot. Find me at Owenhouse Cycling.
I wake up at 6, have a leisurely breakfast and coffee while listening to NPR, to get my news for the day. Go for a ski at around 7:30-8, so I get to the trails just before most other people, it has to be about 25 degrees and sunny. After that, have a quick lunch, spend the afternoon taking care of responsibilities before having a relaxed dinner and getting to bed early.
None yet!

My pre-race music has stages depending on how close I am to the race time. A couple hours from race time something to calm the nerves, after that something to get me pumped up.
I also alpine ski, wheelchair race and I am a black belt in karate.
An ideal day for me would be getting up right around sunrise, going for a nice long ski in the mountains with my friends. Just enjoying my day and life to the fullest everyday having a new adventure.

There are too many wonderful courses to choose just one.
Moana, definitely Moana
In my free time I enjoy making all my own bacterial foods: Kimchi, Kombucha, Yogurt, Bread Starters, Cheese… And eating them!
I would greatly enjoy a day including strong, decaf, English black tea, soaking in a natural hot springs, leaving some sort of positive impact on the world and star gazing.

Helicopter flying, being an official NOAA weather watcher, geeking out on the weather models and gardening
Waking up to a fox in our backyard after a foot of fresh snow has flocked all the trees, followed by hitting the freshly groomed trails up at Crosscut. Might also cap off the day by watching Outer Banks (again).
I’m a proud Rossi athlete and have appreciated their support over the past three years.
2020 has been a year filled with surprises and challenges that are testing our resilience. It is also becoming a year that is highlighting how incredible our community can be during a crisis. Friday, September 4th we all watched as a small plume of smoke quickly ignited into an inferno of fast-moving flames from behind the M up to the ridge.

I grew up in the quaint town of McCall, Idaho.
My favorite race venue is the radical one in Lenzerheide Switzerland that I got to race at last winter at biathlon world junior championships.

I am an avid foodie, water skier, climber, mountain biker, paddle boarder, kayak cleaner, watercolorist, dancer (mostly in the gym with @lukemoose) and ripsticker.
An ideal day would start with me waking up at or after 9am and laying in bed stretching for a solid period of time, then I would meander out of bed and eat waffles with caramelized apples and a healthy dose of whipped cream, next I would go do some sort of exhilarating, heart pumping sport with my pals and afterwards I’d eat lunch and paint in a hammock with my dog. The evening would include either climbing or waterskiing followed by a sunset stroll with my friends as we talk about the intricacies of spiderwebs. Stargazing on a mosquito free granite island in the middle of a turquoise lake would be the final splendid event of the day.
My sponsors include all my amazing friends who have supported my trips to Europe these past few years as well as Yates Climbing gear and Rossignol. My most important sponsors have been and always will be my parents, Stef and Chris Woods.
