(She's the one in the yellow t-shirt! Just kidding! She's in the middle, holding back the crowd until the parade starts with her mighty, mighty pizza stance.)I'm so glad other people had the chance to take pictures!

Flag Bearer
This is Alison carrying the flag at the Doug Meyers Race.

Mook-tastic
Alison has been a busy little ski racer over the past couple of weekends. She had some fun and had a few good runs. One run in particular inspired her buddies to create a whole series of Mookie-modified adjectives. My favourites included:
Mooktastic
Mooktacular
Mookariffic
Mookalicious
I didn't take any photos but another parent did. I have one of her with pink hair, just because.
Rustle tried to cheer her on.Thursday, March 10, 2011
Not exactly about skiing...
I have some photos to share of us at ski hills, but not skiing stories. Just trying to balance my life, a little.
We had a free ski weekend at Revelstoke in February, the only time all season the four of us have skied together. We also had some time with Rustle, who can, apparently, pull children down hill at the speed of fun.
Alison and her pal Erin took time to play in the snow on the deck.
This was the sign at the base of the lift at Castle Mountain. -50 with wind chill was no exaggeration.

Alien Mook
It was opposite day at school today. Since Alison is 100% convinced that she is human, she designed this costume to wear at school today.
What a girl!

Winter Insanity
I realize that it has been a long time between posts. Mostly it's been because we have been very busy with skiing. Tonight, however, training is canceled due to extreme cold, so I've found a few minutes to share.
Sarah has had a pretty good year. She did tweak her knee over Christmas camp and found a fantastic physiotherapist (through her fantastic coach) who helped her a lot. She was a bit tentative in her first race, but had some solid finishes in races since. She's really going for it and it's working for her!
Alison has had a good year, too. Her new shinnies from Gramma mean she's banging into those gates. She seems to like slalom a lot - maybe it's because she wears shinnies for slalom!
Rustle is still enjoying the amazing amounts of snow he gets to play in. Life is good for Rustle if there's snow.
Parents have had a couple of chances to ski together this winter. Just a couple, though.
