Gary and I rediscovered our love of cross country skiing a number of years ago when we found Silver Star and now spend much of the winter here.

My first introduction to skiing was in the 70s in southern Ontario. Once I discovered loppets, I was hooked and competed in many local events. I entered the Canadian Ski Marathon many times, ultimately achieving the sliver Courier du Bois. I also finished 5 World Loppet events: Riviere Rouge, Finlandia, Vasa, Norwegian Birkebiner and Engadin. During the off season, I enjoy mountain biking, wildlife photography and travelling to remote places in Canada.
