Happy Monday Everyone!!
Hope you had a great weekend! Ours was pretty busy - no boarding this week unfortunately, but we spent most of the day on Sunday tobogganing our local “Killer Hill” - It was tons of fun!

So, unfortunately last week, we were so busy that we didn’t get a chance to put up our FreshPal! However, I think this week’s FreshPal will more than make up for our loss last week…

I am so excited to announce this week’s FreshPal - She is an award winning Skier; Some accomplishments include: 1st place - 2007 Winter X Games Half Pipe, 1st place - 2007 Nippon Open Slopestyle, 1st place - 2007 WSI pipe, 2nd place - 2007 Nippon Open Half Pipe, and Sarah won the ESPY for Best female action sports athlete.

WOW! Talk about talent!! Keep reading to see some of the things that make Sarah tick…
