    Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.

    I know she's from Vail but she honed the skillz on the icy eastern hard pack of Burke's training hill .
    She likely won't be skiing much on this side of the big salty pond for the rest of the year.

    That is now 3 first places on the year! Tied for most WC wins by a pre-18 year old.

    Great NYT article
    Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
    And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
    It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
    and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

    Great that the young lady has hit her stride.

    BUT
    A 17 year old girl with national media attention, this never ends well.

    Read about her MTT. She is very grounded, even starstruck at her competitors whom she is now beating.

    I read it. You think the press is going to treat her differently?

    That awe shucks thing will not last long. From what I read she sounds like a very impressive young woman. And it appears a pretty solid familly?
    Or have they built (Universal Skier)

    I just don’t like that the media looks to be ramping up to throw the Celebrity laser on her. Let see how that all goes

    My brother-in-law is her History teacher at Burke. He says she is an excellent human.
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    So proud of Mikaela! She was a great student in my class back in the day at Vail. Just a great all around kid who deserves all of this. Hope I get the chance to congratulate her in person some time.
    FYI: Ross teaches upper school. Mikalea moved just after finishing second grade at VMS.
