Another amazing Friday:

Last week we had 25 foursomes teeing off at the Owl's Nest Golf Course and raised enough money to pay for my entire year!!!! Today I signed and sent in the United States Ski Team Membership Agreement, which means I am officially a member of the USST.

In New Zealand I wrote a concise letter to Jesse Hunt, USST Alpine Program Director, requesting to be named to the national team without any change in payment schedule or program. He responded with a phone call yesterday explaining their position and decision to pick me up. As of Monday next week when the ski team sends out their yearly press release naming athletes I will be on the list.

Crazy stuff. I am now officially a member of the USST!!!!!!!

I'm off to Austria on Monday, but I'll be in touch. Now it's time to make good turns and keep the ball rolling. I hope all is well, w
