I was very fortunate to be apart of the Vertical Express for MS at Schweitzer Mountain Resort. I got to ski with and see a long time friend that I have not seen in years. Jimmy Huega was one of the racers that influenced me as a young racer. I new at 6 that I wanted to be an Olympic Medalist someday and Jimmy along with others helped with that.
Over the years as I progressed closer and closer to that dream, I was able to make friends with some of the very people that I idolized back then. It was great to see Jimmy again after all those years.
These images are from this event and what a bunch of fun people having great fun for a great cause. I particularly liked the old school style of some of the old time racers. You know who you are!!!
