The result of the second injury was to miss the entire 2005 World Cup season. • Known for his aggressive “on the edge” style of skiing, which often results in either a great result, or a spectacular crash! • Is setting his sight on Torino and 2006. ‘It’s all about 2006!” • Believes his strengths are that he is technically sound with a positive outlook. • Considers his girlfriend, former team-mate Kelly Ringstad, to be the greatest influence in his life. “Without her, I wouldn’t be here. She is stronger than anyone I know.” • Has two Olympic memories: “I got to run with the torch for the 1988 Calgary Olympics. I went to Petro-Canada every day and filled out 50 entry forms to make sure I’d get selected! That is what got me thinking about going to the Olympics. The second was cheering on my girlfriend and team-mates in Salt Lake, in 2002.” • Interested in golf, building furniture, and environmentally-sound buildings. • Future career plans? “PGA Champions tour!” World Cup Ranking 2003-04 12 2000-01 28 1999-00 27 World Cup Results 1 Fernie 04 2 Inawashiro 04 5 Iizuna Kogen (DM)01 Blackcomb (DM) 00 7 Inawashiro 047 Tignes 01 8 Naeba 04 major results Canadian Championships 2 Gabriel 01 Gabriel (DM) 00 30
