Pre-Olympic Training at Alpine Meadows

This week Alpine Meadows has come through in a huge way. We built a full ski cross course. We have our start up there, two huge features right out of the start like we will see up at Cypress for the ski cross at the Olympics. They have spent hours and hours in a cat to build this tremendous course for myself to train on between now and the Olympics. It’s been a great run in here to the Olympics, so get out there and catch me training. We will be training this Tuesday and Wednesday, and we will be back here next week for three more days of training, so if you get a chance, come up there and cheer us on before we go off to the Olympics.

Kerr finds Jamaican hospitality

in Blue Mountain, Ontario

Arriving from Europe and welcomed by some very hospitable Jamaicans, Kerr spent the week in their company. Errol’s qualification run for the World Cup was a tough one, because he started right when it began to snow, slowing him down, and finishing 28th. But this did little to deter his enthusiasm to greet and speak to the 200 kids who drove up from Toronto Inner City to spend the day learning how to ski. Phoenixbluecasting.ca staged the event on live streaming to Jamaica, where Jamaican school kids also had a chance to ask Kerr some questions. Kerr encouraged them to “Be the best at whatever you do. And even if you aren’t that good, you will be someday if you keep on trying.” Jamaica Consulate General Consul George Ramocan was also at the event to demonstrate his support for Kerr and to speak to the kids.
