new website!

10/4/2012

Hi everyone! Welcome to my new website! I decided to upgrade and create this new website, so after ripping my hair out designing it myself it is finally done. There is a reason I do sports and not web design...web design hurts my brain. So I hope everyone likes it... and if not...well that's too bad because I'm not going through that process again.

I am currently in Park City for one last block of intensive dryland training, and I'm getting work done. I'm tired, sore and a little cranky from all the time in the gym but I know it will pay off when we start racing in less than two months. I am feeling stronger than I have in awhile and more prepared for this upcoming season. Last year I was a little weak going into it after being hurt the previous season but I made do with what I had and did pretty well. It gives me confidence that I can push things more and my body can handle it.
This summer I was able to go to both New Zealand and Chile for some on snow training. New Zealand was a slow camp for coming off a second surgery this spring to remove the plate and screws from my leg. I "eased" back into things by jumping on the new GS skis and not being able to turn them. At all. I spent two days trying to figure out how to finish a brush course. Some athletes have had no problem switching to the new stuff but Ill be honest, I struggled for a little there. Yikes. I have figured out the new GS skis, they take a lot more effort to turn and are less forgiving but in the end I do like them and haven't thought much about it now that I have been on them for two ski camps.

Chile was a really good camp even with the limited amount of snow. I was able to get on the new speed skis and thankfully I didn't have quite the challenge with them as I did with the new GS skis. I was able to jump right into running full length Downhill (yes!) and Super-G which was so MUCH fun! As much as I love summertime and having a change of routine there is nothing like getting back on skis and ripping.

For now till I can start ripping again it is back to the gym…physical testing is next week and we are having a team dryland camp in Park City after which will be a lot of fun and also really exhausting. Looking forward to some snow!

Hi Alice: I was happy to see you lead for a while during Lake Louise's 2nd downhill. Also very happy to see U.S. skiers 1-2 all 3 races. I must admit that I root exceptionally for Lindsey to win because I badly want her to hit 63 WC wins so that an American becomes the best woman WC skier of all time. That would be a wonderful legacy not only for Lindsey but for all American skiers.

I had hoped to come to St. Moritz this year and even toyed with the idea of inviting the team for dinner as Pamela and I did last year. But, Pamela required knee surgery this week and so she cannot come and I don't want to leave her alone for 3-4 days right out of the hospital.

Best wishes for a safe, happy, and successful season.
Peter

Hey! I am an 8th grade student in CT. I am participating in a communications class where I must make a podcast that includes an interview. Thus, if you have 10 minutes, I would be exited to interview you about Olympic Skiing. If its the location you are worried about, we can videochat over skype... Thanks for your time! Kellie

Web designers use a variety of different tools depending on what part of the production process they are involved in. These tools are updated over time by newer standards and software but the principles behind them remain the same.

Aside from recreation and competition, skiing has been used for military purposes and travelling in areas that experience heavy snowfall.
