I have a very strict routine that I follow while I warm-up for each race.
Does racing ski oblige you to have a special nutrition program?
During the summer months when I am home I love to cook and I enjoy eating healthy and nutritious food. Unfortunately when we are on the road, we have to eat whatever is put in front of us at the restaurant, so I have a harder time following my diet while I am on the road.

Music, boating, cycling, horseback riding.
Which Internet sites do you visit the most often?
I spend a lot of time sampling new music online, so I like the iTunes store, as well as www.hypem.com. I also try to stay caught up on current affairs while I am on the road, so I tend to read the local Calgary paper online
