When @movementskis asked me at the start of the season if I wanted to compete in the famous @patrouilledesglaciers_official ski mountaineering race, I instantly said yes. I spent a lot of time this season training, learning how to go faster in technical terrain. Last night was the first time meeting my teammates, @aurelienducroz and @eric.gachet. I’m a bit intimidated to race such a big course for my first time, but I’m also stoked to try something new and continue progressing my skill set in the mountains. And as an American, I’m embracing a new cultural experience! Stay tuned for more this week as we learn to work as a team and prepare to race Friday night.
