been a while,
hi everybody, i know it’s been a while since I blogued in but the past few weeks have been crazy. So After pressing the reset button at home for 2 weeks in Whistler, I went straight to Mammoth for the Roxy Chicken Jam and then MIss SUper PArk. The Roxy wasn’t the perfect Mammoth weather that we love so much. we had a few days of high winds and had to cancel qualies and do the pipe all in the same day in Saturday. Things went pretty smooth all day and we just did one big finals with 20 girls or so. I ended-up winning Best Trick with an Alley-oop Rodeo so that was pretty sweet. we kept things pretty mellow as we were living 4 in our little Ghetto Room at Motel 6. It was awesome!!! Then we were off to Miss SUper PArk in June Mountain. The first day was pretty mellow as most girls were doing the Slope Style still in Mammoth. We hit the big spine, step-up and made this little wall stall. The next day I had to rush back to Reno with my fellow Canadian partners in crime Sarah and Mercedes to head back to Vancouver to do our Nationals in Cypress. I just had time to hang out with my favorite Chicas Lisa and Conny for about 30 minutes before hitting the road.
So back home again for Nationals and National Selection camp and physical testing and all that great stuff. Yup, you have a hard time getting out of bed after that one. Finished things off with my birthday and party at my house. Ended things by kicking people out at 6am so I guess it was a great time….............
Now it’s almost the end of the Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler, AKA drunk party week of the year. So like last year I did the If Ullr was A Girl contest where 16 pro skiers and snowboarder girls meet-up to compete for the grand-prise of $$$$25 000 winner take all. So last Sunday we did Big-Mountain, then Monday pipe contest, Tuesday Slope-style and Wednesday night was the Art and Culture night. So I took home with me the pipe event and Art night with my piano playing during a slide show and then I busted my dance from last year….........it’s on youtube if ever you want to laugh at me…........ So things were looking pretty good and they announced the winner yesterday…....................... 2nd place….............short of 1st by not much but 25 000$$$$$ short. Bev took it home and danced the night away last night.
So pretty bummed, not going to lie but Bev is pretty amazing so as long as she took it home.
Now it’s pipe finals tomorrow and then one last party before leaving for Colorado for a FSM trip. Then I’ll sleep for a while I think. Here are some random pics from my party and the past few weeks. see ya soon. dom

Busy girl:) That sucks that you didn’t win. All or nothing is pretty harsh. Would have been better if it was like 10 grand for first and at least 5 for second. But still, 2nd place is awesome!!
