Since the morning of January 27th I have felt an immense amount of disappointment. As many of you may know I recently became an alternate for the speed events at the Olympics in Vancouver. I have never in my life felt so crushed and defeated. For an entire week I dreaded coming home to Big [...]

This year was the first annual Shelley Glover Century ride. I participated along with other athletes from the U.S. Ski team. Friends and coaches were on hand to celebrate the ride and raise money for the Shelley Glover Foundation founded by the Glover family after Shelley passed away in 2004 from a skiing accident. Shelley [...]

For all you folks that ride along with Keels on Wheels you’ve probrably noticed that I’ve been off the radar for a little while. Well to be exact it’s been almost two months. Sorry! I needed some Keely time to rest, recover, and start up my wheels again for the summer training ahead. To fill [...]

I just wanted to recognize my fan from Canada Olivia! I met Olivia last year while I was coaching in Mt. Hood, Oregon. I gave her my green POC helmet and I’ve never seen someone so excited. Recently Olivia wrote me an email telling me about her successful season and how she thinks my green [...]

It doesn’t stop snowing in the great white north. In the last week the Alyeska ski resort has accumulated 100 inches of snow! Great for powder skiing…not so good for racing.

Today was really a bummer. My close teammate Leanne Smith tore her ACL today in the downhill race. She was ripping this year and it was so sad to see her get injured. So send Leanne all your healing vibes so she can be back as fast as possible!Me, Kaylin Richardson, Georgia Simmerling (Canada), and [...]

I’ve been watching the snow fall out of the sky in Cortina, Italy for the past two days now. The cars outside can’t even get out of the parking lot because they are completley blanketed. Jack Frost has decided to give us another hard time; we have already had two downhill training runs cancelled here. [...]

Now that the first race jitters are out of the way it’s time to get the ball rolling! I had an amazing time in Aspen. It was my first World Cup GS race, ( although I skied slower than I wanted to) it really helped to kick out of the start gate and get the season [...]
