I finally have a day off and a bit of time off racing to feel like I can take a deep breath again. We just finished our series at St. Moritz, and I am happy to report that while St. Moritz may have gotten the best of me the past 5 years, the 6th time was a charm and I finally left that beautiful valley with a feeling of accomplishment.
I was 12th in the Downhill which was the first time I have ever been in the points in the DH at St. Moritz since 2005. The SG went well also finishing in the points for the second SG in a row in 25th from bib 48. It was not a great result by any means, but It was my best SG result in almost 2 years, and I feel like I am making baby step back into being competitive in that event.
Enough about results though, I am super excited and looking forward to the next few weeks. I am back in Kaprun, Austria right now for a pre- olympic training camp, and then will fly home to Mammoth very soon. I get a few days there to do laundry and repack and maybe visit a few friends, and then I am off to VANCOUVER!!!! It sounds weird to call myself a 2-time Olympian, but I put in a lot of hard work the last few years to make it back a second time, and I hope I can represent America to the best of my ability. The Olympics are such a special event unlike anything else, and I look forward to sharing with you what exactly they mean to me over the next few weeks.
Be back soon!
Stacey

Hey Stacey
Congratulations on being a 2 time Olympian!!! We're rooting for you all the way! Anybody that knows you can testify that you represent America well, everywhere you go, regardless of results on the slopes. That's just the kind of person you are. Maybe it's just more fun to represent America when your ski results are good. We'll be watching!!
Day off
