“Hey... thanks a lot for checking out life in my little part of the world.”

As a full-time ski racer, the life Brigitte loves is packed with over 50 races during four or five months in North America and Europe.

The rest of the year is constant training both on and off snow – to win by just hundreds of seconds.

At speeds of up to 130 kilometers or 80 miles an hour, Brigitte rockets down ice covered mountains and amazingly races against the clock in ALL five disciplines of international alpine ski competitions:

Downhill - Two training runs and one timed run - speeds 100 to 130 km
Super G - One timed run after visual inspection only - speeds 70 to 100 km
Giant Slalom - Two timed runs on courses with very few control gates
Slalom - Two timed runs on courses with many control gates in difficult patterns
Combined - Occasional sets of Downhill & Slalom races at the World Cup level
