Two Down - Two To Go

An update on my young skier Dane Mechler.  He had a bit of bad luck with weather at Junior Worlds and ended up 12th in Under 17 Boys Slalom.  At the Mastercraft Australian Open, his first pro tournament, he came in 9th.  He's currently skiing with Daniel Odvarko, Joel Wing, Timmy Bradstreet, and Kara MacIntyre doing some training before Moomba.   Dane said, "We are skiing on Myuna Bay near Newcastle, Australia and it is saltwater so it is perfect practice for Moomba".  He's heading to Melbourne tomorrow where he is top seed for the Moomba junior event and 20th seed for the Moomba elite event.
