The people gliding through the snow with their cool snowboards and their ski’s.

My goal is to prepare myself for the challenging, and rewarding career ahead. Ultimately, once I become and Registered Nurse I will further my education and training to receive my

It all started as a passionate love towards the sport, then came as a dream to be one of those guys you see on t.v riding their bikes down a mountain, then became reality, and then….I was there on those mountains. Breathless. Just staring down below me as if I was a bird looking down from the clouds. I could taste the pine from the trees below and beside me. The taste was so surreal.

I often work with Minnesota transplants that are searching for a reason to love winter, which I can emphatically say, “it's
