ReplyDeleteWhat about the Canadian Slalom Storm?!
ReplyDeleteGo check this article : (http://www.fisalpine.com/news/canada-slalom-storm,349.html).
Enjoy your Olympic adventure and say hi to Marie-Michèle, from her #1 fan (outside her family... ;-) )

Might I suggest "The Gate Crashers!" and yes, the exclamation mark has to be in there.
ReplyDeleteMy backup suggestions are The Carving Cuties, or the Snow Foxes
Good luck guys, can't wait for the tech events.
Mari-Michele's name always pops up on my google alerts so I was thrilled when she made the team. Awesome. Good luck to all of you!
