I am currently a J2 racer and have skied at Diamond Peak since I was two years old. Right now, I am a freshman in high school and I absolutely love to travel. My favorite part of ski racing is being able to go all over the world and just have fun racing! My dream is to be a World Cup ski racer and Olympian when I am older, representing the United States or Slovenia! Joined: December 2008 Lila's Posts
