It has been a busy end of January. Between family time, college time, business meetings, coffee meetings, sitski presentation at a primary school where my nephew-to-be goes to school and Slovene sitski camp organisation, there was hardly time for blogging at Team Jakič. Let’s review what was going on, one topic at the time. When…
My Blog
Many people keep a diary. I keep a blog. In it I share everything, without thinking twice, despite the fact that it is public, just lying there on an electronic bookshelf we call Web. The opinions & rants are mine alone & are not to be associated with any organization I belong to - therefore my blog. It is mine to write and yours to read, if you choose to.

When You Date A Ski Racer…
Those girls and guys who have ever done it,know what I’m talking about: dating a ski racer,that’s a unique beast. Personal holidays, national holidays, anniversaries that might mean everything to you (and sometimes us as well) are there to be forgotten when our head should be “in the game”. We’re constantly away or traveling somewhere….
The Reality Strikes Again
There should be a Race Report from Sestriere here,but once again there is nothing to really blog about. In my 5 race starts, I have finished my races DFL (Dead F*cking Last) twice, DNF’d (Did Not Finish) twice and had an OK 2nd run at the IPCAS race. In my 5 days of ski racing,…
Countdown To Raceday – Sestriere 2012

In Memoriam Viktor Johans – 4 Years Later
His name was Viktor Johans, 19-year old friend of mine from Sweden and 4 years ago exactly, he passed away in a car accident. But in 2 weeks we have spent together, he influenced my life probably more then anybody. When we met, he was a cool 18-year old soccer goalkeeper, who could fly planes,…
New Year, New Beginning!
While most ski racers redefine “years” so that they start at the start of the ski season and end at the end of it, real New Year still plays a part in a ski racers training cycle.Especially if a racer usually skis pretty badly in December. Just like me. As December has now come to…
Back To European (Lack Of) Snow
After returning from Winter Park about a week ago, it was time to return to skiing and normal training routines. So we did, just like every European skier, pack up our stuff in my car (nicknamed The Galmobile by my NSCD teammate Rob for which I will be thankful for all eternity) and roll. Getting…
Time To Be Grateful
As an adaptive athlete, I often get questions about my belief and religion. As I come from a family of atheists, I have designed my own idea of religion and belief, but what I wanted to blog about today is an idea I have later integrated into my day. I have once heard, that you…
Copper Mountain History Repeated
There should have been a race report instead of this blog post. There shouldn’t have been this blog at all. But sometimes history repeats itself and on 2011 Copper race it has been repeated to a ridicolous extent. Let’s revise my 2010 Copper race quickly. The schedule was supposed to be the same as last…
Countdown To Raceday – Copper Mountain 2011
The time has finally come to kick-off the adaptive ski racing season of 2011/12. It is the time of year, when you get to see how much your training really means on the grand scale, how you measure up with the rest of the pack and what is still there to do to get better….
