My name is Chrissy. I stumbled upon your website and i got pretty exited about it!! So i started writing to you right away...

I'm 22 years old girl from Sofia, Bulgaria, very passioned about being a freestyle skier .. (even doing this for just 2 years now)... I realy wish to be a pro some day.. just because i have never been happier in my life thanwhile skiing... when you overcome your fear and do something new, when you land new trick..its like .. i cant even explain it.. youre so happy and stoked!!! I really think i have a potential to go big if i onlly get the chance..... Each time I go out to the mountain I'm tring to push myself, always believing i can do better... 

A few years ago i all about about inline (vert) skating, trying to skate and progress every day. Living in a place where practicing this kind of sports is more like fighting for the idea ... with no really god places to skate, no skateparks, not much support and conditions for talented riders to progress and move to the next level, after few years of pushing hard i found my self spending more time at work/school .. with no possibility to skate as much as I want simple cause there is no place to do that where i live and i have to travel like 3 hours to another town... At this time i stated skiing (something i was thinking about last few years but couldnt afford till this moment It was something new i jumped in to so impassioned...It was like a sartover... My rolleblading background got me the way of thinking of a rider .. so i started doing tricks as soon as i felt confident back on skis (i used to ski .. age 4-12 /not racing kind of way though/) It was so easy..easier than on skates, where i had to work hard for doing things for first time, discovering spinning and flipping,.. now it was like.. i just had to try overcome the fear of the first try... which i already know is feeling i should restrain cause its usually wrong and its just slowing you down... It was easier but at the same time so much more fun because its so much bigger (like.. higher and faster..) :)))  

Just like in rollerblading the local freeski scene is pretty small.. we don't have snowparks and huge resorts.... just random jumps and stuff someone build somewhere... or for some event....and whatever else you can do by yourself with a few friends and a shovel...i also have to go to work and cant ski so much. I know i can progress much if I just get the opportunity.I wanna be a skier, to compete and be as good as i know i can, but i know it will never happend if I dont change something in my life. For my momall that  is just childhood whimsy, it cant be way of life and with doing that I am a slacker willing just to have fun instead of working and studying hardly....  

I'm thinking a lot lately about all those things... about what im doing with my life, what i whant and what I should do.. I found out for myself that skiing is that one thing  that's making me happy.. that's what i want, what will make me fell satisfied and valuable. And i think it's real.. right? It is possible? Sometimes i believe in that so much ... (usually when I ski and push something new, but not only) but sometimes im getting uncertain a bit... (thats when i'm at home, long time far from the mountain, just working and arguing with my mom how stupid i am thinking of skiing and skating most of the time... :|  I really have do to something ...but i dint know what..  Maybe i should just take off and move to .. i dont know... where the snow is :)... but how.. and where exacly .... maybe i should get a sponsor .. Am i good enough? . probably no...i mean,... of course i'm not i'm.. im so in the beginning ... I don't know...who can help me? Is there anyone thats supports "potential good skiers"... I think I should get some lame job at some nice resort? But how will i find one..one that I will have enough time to ski...right now i cant just leave home with my backpack, skis and stuff and go to see if i make it somehow.. i have no money to just quit work and move at the mountain.. I don't even have skis.. (mine are broken. but ill fix that before first snow. :P) ...

When i saw your web site a tought maybe you can give me some advice, encouragement... I don't know...  What is the way of becoming professional skier? (if you don't have money and good place to practice) :))) 

I will be more than happy if you reply my e-mail :)) I think what you do is great... Its not easy been only girl trying to compare with guys in such a sport ... or just someone who thinks differently, dreaming for something, that most people think is nonsense (visualizing my family)...
