THANK YOU! WOW!!

Thanks to all of Cory's supporters for the huge success of our Pie & Cookie fundraising sale! Ali, Tracey, Ashley, Barb, Gary, Elaine, Angela, Donna, Barrie, Donna & Shaw, Marc & Emily, Sarah & Alain, Megan, Kim, Kathleen, Louise, Nicky, Michelle & Iain, Tracy, Gale & Helmut, Pat, and Tanya, we really appreciate your support.

And a very special thank you to Cory's cousin Becki for rallying so many of her friends to participate.

In total, we've sold just over $1600 worth of pies & cookies, which will give Cory $511 towards his training this winter.

And it all starts right now....very early tomorrow morning, around 1:30am, we'll be driving to Seattle for a 6am flight to Denver. Then starting on Saturday, Cory will put in 6 days of slalom and giant slalom training with Bob Vial's Hurricane Race Camp at Loveland, Colorado. Race camp is a lot of hard work....early mornings, carrying gear to and from the hill, lots of "barking" criticism from the coach, plenty of runs both in free-ski drills and through gates, then ski waxing and tuning back at the condo, with video review wrapping up each day.

First though, we have to finish packing up the gear...



and getting it into the car....



We'll update with news from Loveland next week, but once again a big thank you to all of you for giving Cory a helping hand to what we all hope will be the top of the podium at the National Games on March 1 & 2, 2012.
