Update from Worlds
Hi Reno,
Wow, so much has been happening since my last blog. I went to Apex, Canada and then onto Voss, Norway where I qualified for World Championships, which were in Madonna Di Campiglio, Italy last week. And now I’m back home again for a couple of days before heading off for the last competition of the year in Killington, Vermont- National Championships. As for results, I am very happy as to the way the season finished up. With a 5th, 6th and 7th place finish at the last three world cups and 6th and 7th at World Championships, I am very proud to say that I finished every race in the top 10- whoohoo. Consistency is something that I have struggled with over the last couple of years so it feels really good to finally break through that mental game and just ski. Not only am I excited about skiing well, but I’m finishing the season healthy and uninjured which is a huge accomplishment in our sport and is going to make training this summer that much easier.

As for what is next, I’m really excited for Nationals next week- I’m definitely looking for a win there. Then when I get home I’m going to be very busy with the women’s ski clinics that I am going to be hosting throughout April. The clinics are going to be geared toward intermediate to advanced skiers that are looking to improve their skills in the bumps, steeps, groomers- the entire mountain. It is going to be a non-intimidating environment where women can have fun skiing with other women of the same ability and pick up some useful tips along the way. Not only is it going to be a lot of fun but I’m also excited because a percentage of the proceeds are going to be donated to up and coming freestyle athletes that need financial assistance for travel and competition expenses next year, so we will be doing it for a great cause as well. If you or any of your friends might be interested please visit the website www.skiwithshellyrobertson.com for more information and come join us on the hill!!!
Thanks again for all of your support and I will keep you posted on Nationals!
