Hope everyone is getting into spring and summer and enjoying it!  xoxo Julia

I wanted to share with everyone my Xtreme experience!  It was a lot of fun. I was nervous the day before picking my line because you have to stand at the bottom and visually pick your line without skiing.. or really knowing exactly what to expect. In racing its pretty much drawn out for you and there are fences and you trust that the course is in the best condition it can be, in the Xtreme, you just hope that there aren’t any rocks under the snow, or in the landing of the cliff, and that everything goes smoothly.  I wasn’t looking to win, just to ski a fluid line.  When I dropped in on top, my skis got a little bit tangled and I knew I had to refocus, and let it flow down the rest of the line. After the small traverse, i said to myself, just open it up a little and don’t hesitate on the cliff, and then just ski to the finish! I was planning on hitting one more cliff band… but i got a little distracted, and just wanted to finish!  it was so much fun, and I can’t wait to do some more freeskiing this spring!

and speaking of spring, I hope everyone is enjoying the thaw….I sure am!

xoxo Julia

Its a fun event put on by Carlsberg where there are 5 events, GS, Skicross, speed trap, parallel sl and tiathlon(sledding running and hitting a target..) Lots of the guys and girls from the world cup come out and have a good time! Tina Maze won the girls division for the 2nd time in row!  It was a sunny fun day of spring skiing!

This video right here made by a Swiss fan of hers is most certainly in keeping with that creative tradition. Awesome job, 20-year-old Swiss fan!

This video was created by Julia’s sponsor LaCroix on the day of the party and features Colorshow, one of Julia’s favorite bands… relive the magic! Life is beautiful and free.

Can’t wait to rock it tomorrow!

Olympic Party, basically just a lot of fun! http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/julesmancuso/~3/-MvCCO8R9VQ/ http://www.juliamancuso.com/blog/finally-back-online-olympic-party-basically-just-a-lot-of-fun/#comments Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:15:24 +0000 Julia http://www.juliamancuso.com/?p=2285 IMG_1135So its been crazy for me to keep up with everyone and everything!  I am sure you’ve all noticed that my website has been extremely over loaded!  I had no idea it would be so popular!  So thanks to everyone for checking in!  If you are on facebook and twitter, I have been updating that daily! I will continue to update my blog here to as best I can.

The Olympics were magical and all the support from my hometown and friends and family has been incredible.  I was so happy to get to go home for a day, and have an awesome party at Northstar. I really didn’t get to see everyone, so I am going to have to get back there again soon!!!  Here are some pictures from that day!

Right now i am sitting in Europe watching a World Cup race, and I do really miss the buzz of the Olympics!  It’s great to be back on tour and skiing though. I had some fun doing some tv stuff in LA, and Vancouver but through all that, i realized my heart is in skiing right now:)

I am so stoked about getting on the podium in Crans Montana. I really felt like it would be tough with that flat course and head wind!  But I really charged out there, and my skiing has been good! so with nothing to loose, i tucked my way onto that 3rd spot!

thanks for checking in and I promise to update for and take lots of pictures!

xoxo Julia

And Julia’s Back Home http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/julesmancuso/~3/ZZbS1qUCisI/ http://www.juliamancuso.com/blog/what-happened-to-the-site-and-julias-back-home/#comments Sun, 28 Feb 2010 04:17:24 +0000 Stephan http://www.juliamancuso.com/?p=2268 It’s been a crazy week at Whistler for Jules, her team, her fans, her critics (my god, look at some of the comments in the blog!?!?), and the server…

There has been wild speculation as to why the website was suddenly offline: some asked me whether the USOC shut us down or even the IOC, or whether it was the victim of a cyber attack. None of those things are true. The truth is, the server finally melted down after having completely crushed by the huge flood of traffic. We’re told the website took up more than 40% of the server’s resources (a hosted server that has other customer’s websites on it as well) and they shut us down because of it. We finally moved to a new dedicated server and we should be golden now. Let’s hope it holds up.

Jules has been all over TV right after her Olympics ended on Thursday. From mornings at 4AM to evenings at 9PM, she’s been mad rushing. Right now she’s on her way back to Squaw to rest up before her HUGE PARTY tomorrow night at NORTHSTAR, CA. If you’re anywhere in the area, come by starting around 3 or 4PM in the afternoon. It should be a night to remember.

Here’s Julia on Ellen…

Also, if you’ve been wondering where your Kiss My Tiara Lingerie or Hoodie order is, it will be prepared tomorrow and shipped out on Monday. Thank you for your patience as we got through the Olympic crunch… we should be back up to our regular shipping schedule.

TTYL,

Stephan
