And (drum roll please)......... We HAVE SNOW!!!

Thanks to Annie! For the training camp this weekend.
Tremblant is open and pumping out the snow. The conditions are very respectable considering mother nature is not 'really' cooperating!

I have had more good news for this year. Station Mont Tremblant has come on board!!! A huge thank you to Lyne Lortie - Directrice of Communications at Tremblant, her perseverance paid off!
Backcountry Access (link on the side bar) will be helping me out with Rottefella R8's for this years ski season, and Lorpen will be sponsoring the National Team!!! Great, Great news!

So that makes - 5000$ out 0f 20000$ we are getting there!

Training is going strong, we started plyometric training this week! Ouch!
;-) Perseverance will pay off!!!

As for the Telemark School - we had a generous donation from Station Mont Tremblant's Alain Valliquet, who came through on 6 pairs of skis for the little munchkins! Normand Thibault of St-Faustin has arranged 16 outings with students from the alpine ski academy - Norbert Morin. We will also be organizing a race/festival at Mont Blanc this year(date to be confirmed) We are looking for skis and bindings to help get the school running! If anyone has any Rottefella - Chili bingings that are growing moldy in your basement, your donations would be greatly appreciated!

We now have 32 pairs of boots, 14 pairs of skis, and a few bindings! Yehhh.
Norway here we come!
