This photo is of Hannah running her GS race at the Provincials. She was skiing beautifully and was headed for a great time. Unfortunately she lost a ski and crashed spectacularly soon after this picture was taken.
She was heartbroken and has had difficulty matching the racing form she had going into the competition since the fall.
While she may look at this as a failure on her part, I am thrilled with her performance. She regained her ski-mojo, she found it within herself to push the envelope and she competed and went for the win. It didn't work out with a story book finish but the gains she made will last longer than a bit of medal or a ribbon would have.
The challenges she faced by pursuing her dream led to a lot of growth. She can be proud of what she has accomplished.
