Update from Shelly Robertson, US Ski Team Member
The Reno-Tahoe Blog will occasionally feature entries from athletes sponsored by Reno-Tahoe, America's Adventure Place. Shelly Robertson, who lives in Reno, is a member of the U.S. Ski Team, and was the 2004 U.S. dual moguls champion.
I just returned home to Reno-Tahoe after three weeks in Colorado. I had a US Team camp, which started out in Breckinridge and ended in Winter Park. Then, I had the first competition of the year at Winter Park this past weekend. It went great! On Friday, I placed 1st and on Sunday, I placed 3rd, which gave me the overall title and a spot for the US World Cups. It was a great way to start the season because it's satisfying to know that the training this summer has been paying off. Thanks for all of the words of encouragement that I received this weekend - I really appreciate it!!
I also look forward to skiing Tahoe with everyone over X-Mas, I will only be home for a couple of days because I will be in Salt Lake until Dec. 22nd and then leaving for Steamboat on the 26th for the BIG DAY! As I'm sure you all know- Steamboat is where the Olympic Qualifier will be held. It is going to be on Dec. 30th and for those of you that won't be able to make it to the competition, it will be on NBC on Dec. 31st at 2:00. I have been dreaming about the 30th for months and I can't believe it is only a couple of weeks away!!!! Well that's about it for me, hope everyone has an amazing holiday season. I wish everyone lots of love and happiness. And as always, thanks for the support!!!

Shelly Robertson Blogging from Switzerland

Hope you all are having a great Fall! I was in Reno the past couple of weeks and it was really nice to be home! I was training hard everyday, a little bit in the gym, but mostly outside because the Fall weather was perfect; lots of running in the mountains, playing tennis, riding my bike and BBQ's with my friends.
Now I'm in Switzerland for the next two weeks training in Zermatt. It's my first time here and it is amazing. Emiko and I are staying right in the center of town in the cutest little apartment that looks right up at the Matterhorn - so beautiful. Everyday, we take one gondola and two trams to get to the top where there is a glacier and a course set up. The last couple of days have been blue bird so we are very happy! Also, a bunch of European teams are here training as well so it has been nice to mix up the scene, as well as the coaching.
Anyway, thanks everyone for all of the emails and support- it means a lot to me! Hopefully we will be skiing in Mammoth soon after my return home!
