My first Director's Cup was in 1991. Since then, I have become an avid and passionate skier. Though, I would not claim myself as a "ski racer,” now, I find myself chasing both my kid's down the mountain and traveling to watch my son ski race. I always enjoy attending DISC;  dual racing for fun, meeting old friend's and new, "dancing," and always making new memories!
