Camillo Ski Race | Season Recap 2025

Posted by in Camillo Skiing

When young skiers race they are grouped by age, with each group containing athletes from two school years. So every other year each skier gets to dominate physically. For Cami, born at the end of 2012, this year has him competing against kids born in January 2011 – up to 23 months older than him. Still, he had a great year – especially in the slalom, where he consistently topped the 2012 leaderboard. I’ve split his highlights reel into two videos, filmed chronologically, each with a mix of slalom, GS…read more

Camillo Ski Race | Trofeo FNA | Sansicario

Posted by in Camillo Skiing

This is a difficult year for Cami and his teammates. They compete against skiers born from January 2011 to December 2012.

I’m not one to make a mountain out of a molehill, but getting back home from Jackson ruined what was an otherwise excellent trip.

Jackson was glorious and productive. I left on Saturday…read more

Between NY and Vegas…

Posted by in Travel Nightmare

It’s been good to get back on the road. The last couple of weeks I’ve visited Génova, Milano, Frankfurt, Boston, Chicago, Albany, Saratoga Springs, New York, Frankfurt, Milan, Génova, Milano, London, Las Vegas, London, Milano, and Génova. Quite a trip. Things were going smoothly until I collected my car at the airport in Milan last Friday and headed home for the weekend. Thirty minutes later I was rear-ended by a young woman who had been distracted enough to miss the queue of stopped cars in front of her. I guess…read more
