		<title>Carving tracks from France to Quebec and back to B.C.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My time in Europe gave me a much-needed reprieve from my normal winter routine. The purpose of the trip was to unite the Mountain Collective Team at Salomon’s headquarters in France to share ideas and look at how we can continue developing both the sport of skiing and the equipment we use. It’s the first...<a class="recent_author_posts_more" href="http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2012/04/carving-tracks-from-france-to-quebec-and-back-to-b-c/"><br /><br />More</a>]]></description>

		<title>Life Is Good: Mid-Season Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[March has flown by. So far, it’s consisted of racing, more racing, and living out of my suitcase. It started with the North American World Cup in Winter Park, Colorado. This is one of my favourite hills on the circuit, and I was feeling like I had a bit of an advantage over the European...<a class="recent_author_posts_more" href="http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2012/03/life-is-good-mid-season-update/"><br /><br />More</a>]]></description>

		<title>We’re capable of whatever we put our minds to</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The month of February was one for the books. So good in fact we needed an extra day just to fit it all in!  As most of you probably already know, on February 3, I executed a picture-perfect back flip — it was huge in so many ways. The accomplishment sits very high in my...<a class="recent_author_posts_more" href="http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2012/03/we%e2%80%99re-capable-of-whatever-we-put-our-minds-to/"><br /><br />More</a>]]></description>

		<title>Freedom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Holy Dyna! The start of 2012 has been a blitzkrieg of awesomeness . . . By now though you’ve probably heard the great news — you know, I’ve had this dream since I was first laid up in the hospital nearly eight years ago to do a backflip in my sit ski. With countless hours...<a class="recent_author_posts_more" href="http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2012/02/freedom/"><br /><br />More</a>]]></description>

Since I last dropped in on ye old blog I’ve done some racing down in Colorado, a full overhaul on my sit ski, a handful...<a class="recent_author_posts_more" href="http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2012/01/year-end-wrap-up/"><br /><br />More</a>]]></description>

		<title>Early season training</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last part of November was dedicated to some high intensity training with the Canadian Para-Alpine Ski Team in Nakiska, and Panorama. It was probably one of the best camps I’ve had in quite some time, despite the bitter cold that is common in these places at this time of year. We focused the majority...<a class="recent_author_posts_more" href="http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2011/12/early-season-training/"><br /><br />More</a>]]></description>

		<title>A change in seasons means a change in focus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey everybody, It’s been quite the week, month, and for that matter life has been hectic for me since last winter.  My summer was pretty full on with some intense projects to prepare my body and my equipment for the upcoming winter.  As well, I was both a student and teacher at a variety of...<a class="recent_author_posts_more" href="http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2011/11/a-change-in-seasons-means-a-change-in-focus/"><br /><br />More</a>]]></description>

		<title>That Which Is Busy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must apologize: it has been way too long since I reported my comings and goings to you fine readers. This spring has felt incredibly busy (as I type that I realize it’s July – though you wouldn’t know it from the weather). Jon and I moved out of family housing at UVic, our home...<a class="recent_author_posts_more" href="http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2011/07/that-which-is-busy/"><br /><br />More</a>]]></description>

		<title>Grand Finale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s been far too long since I’ve dropped my pen onto paper, and thus have to retrace my calendar to bring you up to speed with my recent adventures. The month of March ended with two great ski races, the Canadian Championships and the U.S. Championships.  To keep the story short and sweet, a couple...<a class="recent_author_posts_more" href="http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2011/06/grand-finale/"><br /><br />More</a>]]></description>

		<title>The &#8220;Off-Season&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m often surprised at how busy the “off-season” really is for us athletes. Many people think that the months we aren’t travelling and competing should find us kicking back on the couch, eating nachos, and hanging out. It’s completely the opposite. The off-season is almost MORE busy than competition. I find that when I’m in...<a class="recent_author_posts_more" href="http://www.raiseyourhand.com/blog/2011/04/the-off-season/"><br /><br />More</a>]]></description>
