sibhusky Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Wow, just found out that two of Siblet's teammates made the National Development Team and those two plus another two got slots to train with the US team down in Chile this summer. And THAT's how I know that Siblet has "missed the boat" for having a great ski career. These kids range from 17 to 20 years old. It's great that our team has so many terrific skiers. But, part of me wishes one of those kids was Siblet. Boo hoo. ...on the other hand, those kind of skiers cost $20,000 a year. Quote
skimom Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Terrific for the Siblet's friends. Given such an inspirational path, maybe she will follow. Quote
Papasteeze Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Tell her to hang in there Sib!! Congrats to her team members! Quote

skifreak Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 Thats great, tell siblet to hang in there I'm sure she will make it! Quote
sibhusky Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Posted July 21, 2005 It's cheaper than college... 29445[/snapback] Um, depends where you go. Siblet's state university is $14,000 a year, including fees and room and board. Of course, the place she originally wanted to go was $35,000 a year. Thank goodness she changed her mind. At the end of college, at least there will be a job. At the end of your ski career...there are only so many sports announcer slots out there. Quote
