Some Great News!

Even though it's just the beginning of September, it's been an eventful week in terms of news for Cory's ski racing career.

First, he's been invited to attend Bob Vial's ski racing camp in Loveland, Colorado in late November. Cory attended Bob's camp on Mount Hood in Oregon in 2007. Here he is with Bob on Mount Hood...





This camp will be a great start to Cory's preparations for his race in March - the qualifying race for the 2012 Special Olympics National Winter Games in Alberta - his next step to the World Games in 2013.


Here he is in action on Mount Hood in 2007.




Then at Whistler yesterday, Cory met with Rob Boyd, a former Canadian World Cup ski racer, who now is Head Coach of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club. After a brief discussion about the challenges of Cory's autism, Rob invited Cory to attend his race camp at Whistler over the Christmas holidays. Another great opportunity to improve his skills and prepare for the qualifying race in March.

Still a long time till ski season, but some exciting developments for Cory.
