February 14, 2013 I’m proud to support Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) as my charity of choice. This organization does awesome work conserving important natural areas like marshes and ponds across Canada… and 2013 is their 75th anniversary! Seventy-five years is one heck of a long time – and something to Read More...

Wow!! I wish I could pretend like it has not been over a year since I made a post but that would be too obvious and lame. I’ll do better… I CAN do better!! Now that Darla and I have this awesome new site, built for us Read More...

Well, the whirlwind summer of fun is done and now its back to business. Awesome!! It's going to be a nice change of pace and a schedule of travel and training that, albeit hectic, normal. Normal as far as skeletors are concerned. We move from place Read More...

You always make a plan to succeed and set out to reach your goals, and when you do… well now that’s nice!! I never gave much thought to anything further than the finish line and it didn’t really matter because what took place the week following the Olympic race was Read More...

On February 26, 2010 I pledged $2,010 to Right to Play to help give children the opportunity to learn through sport and play. I am asking folks to join me by donating what they can or to donate $20.10 in honor of the Olympic year. I know that together we can Read More...

So that’s that, as they say. I’m not sure who “they” are, but that’s what I’m sayin’ anyway. Not a bad season on the World Cup tour, near as I can tell. I’d be lying if I said there were not things that I would change, like a couple 12th Read More...

As I sit here in the Lufthansa Executive Lounge at the Calgary Airport, drinking a free beverage, I can’t help but to feel like a bit of player. A feeling one could get used to. Although I sure it will dissipate quickly as I cram into the airplane and settle Read More...

Three races down and five more to go in the 09/10 World Cup campaign. Thus far it has been a mixed bag of results but I’ve been learning through the entire process, which is a good thing. Park City and Lake Placid, where I usually have a strong showing as Read More...

Holy smokes, it’s hard to believe that the season is on top of me already. Seems like it was last week we were racing in Lake Placid at World Champs. Non-the-less it was a great summer of training and preparations for this season and I’m rarin’ to go. I think Read More...

Well it’s been a nice break since the season has concluded. It was a strong finish to the year and a good place to start from next fall when we get back on the ice. I was 4th at World Champs and had a 6th in Park City to finish Read More...

02/07/09 Like they say, better late than never. I’d be a big fat liar if I said this season had gone according to plan or that I’d met the expectations I had of myself at the beginning of the World Cup campaign. However, I am pleased with my result in Read More...

01/26/09 - It's nice to sleep in my own bed... that way when I have nightmares about my last race in St.Moritz, Switzerland and wake up crying I know where the Kleenex is at. A miserable result to say the least, however the silver lining is I know what the Read More...

Well, I was close. It was an improvement. But this year will again read, “I’ll get it next year,” in my track notes book. Konigssee is the track that I come back to each year with the sole mission of exiting Krisel, the 360 degree corner, without smashing the wall Read More...

Holy smokes. 2009. That’s hard to believe. Looking back I think 2008 was pretty outstanding and I’m optimistic that the year to come will continue to bring new challenges and rewarding accomplishments. Like the holiday season I just experienced. It was my first away from Manitoba and my two sisters Read More...

Cesana, Italy marks the fourth stop on our tour this year and the place I won my first World Cup victory last season in January. I would not get another chance to hear O’Canada in Italy this year. Two and a half meters of pillow soft powder snow fell upon Read More...

It has been a bit since my last post and a whole lotta miles in the Van. After Altenberg we drove over to Innsbruck, Austria for our third competition of the season in Igls, a small town just up the mountainside from the city of Innsbruck below. Igls is another Read More...

Race #2… Not what I was planning. A few realizations though and I feel fortunate that I have a good deal of time to get things straight before World Champs at the end of the season and before next February… when my eight years of training and preparation is put Read More...

7th Place... not what I wanted for a result in the first race of the season on a track I've had some success on in the past, but alas it's an Olympic qualifer (a top ten finish in a World Cup race) and that is the main thing at this Read More...

Right now we are just heading to bed for our last night in Baden Baden, Germany. We have been here for three days to relax a bit and get over our jetlag. It was a nice break from the sliding we have been at for the last month and a Read More...

Well the selection process is over and the teams are decided. It was a long month of training and racing in Whistler, Calgary and Lake Placid, NY and after it was all said and done... I've got my spot back on the World Cup Team for the 2008/2009 competitive season. Read More...

Well the season is finally here... and so are the aches and pains! I've been in Whistler for two weeks now and am just starting to get back into sliding shape. The first week of sliding is always hard on the body, getting used to using your neck again, getting Read More...
