Julia's Summer
Victoria, Switzerland, England and Elite skiing. Not a bad summer.
The Elite Ski Program was intended for us to find out what skill she has. Here is her coach Jason's note to us:
"ulia is a good skier with an excellent attitude and work ethic. It is difficult for me to predict the future results of athletes because there are always deviations from the norm. If I had to guess, right now ski is skiing to about 80 - 100 FIS points in both slalom and GS. This is very good for a 16 year old, but not on par with national team (US) juniors. Probably top 10% in age in Canada though. That being said...I believe that Julia truly loves skiing and with the right support systems in place could do very well in the next few years. "
Not bad for a girl who trains a day a week versus the national team who train at special academies for 6 days a week.
She seems to have had a ball all round.
