If I can do It you can do it …A follow-up to “Race Tough Legs”
If you read my last article in the Ski Canada fall issue, you may remember two important statements I made. The first was when Joel, the CEO of Skier’s Edge, looked at me in Sun Valley, Idaho during the Masters World Criterium medal ceremony and said “Peter, I think that’s where you want to be standing right now.” The second was the last sentence which said “stay tuned to see how things unfold.”

FIS Medals in Chile!
Are you excited for the coming ski season? Have you started to train? My ski season had an early start.

Our group of four swept many of the medals in the South American Championship races with just two days on the snow. We won a total of 21 championship medals and had the fastest overall times.

Perfect Technique – It’s Your Choice!
For years I had been getting the mailings from Skier’s Edge with pictures of former World Cuppers on this ‘machine’. I thought it was just a gimmick until that day on the sidewalk in Govy (Government Camp, Mt. Hood, OR), followed by that free run the next morning.

Instant Good Mood!
There are two things in life that always put a smile on my face: driving fast and great skiing. For me these are sure fire ways to put me in an instant good mood. I climbed into my car and raced up the canyon through a blur of white. As I slid into the resort parking lot all I could think of was floating through the fresh snow. I hurried to get ready and made it on one of the first chairs up the mountain. As I exited off the chair and started my journey through skiing nirvana... something awful happened!
