Personal: Married with two children. Damon is turning six in June 2002 and torments his little sister who is just two with constant attention. Profession: Principal of Harrietville Primary School. It is an excellent base for ski training. The roads are quiet, the hills are steep, and the snow is close. Other than family and work there are now lots of distractions! Coach: Barry Field Aims for 2001 and beyond: To race World Cups and achieve my personal best. A top 50% of the field placing is my dream. Training theory: Just do it!
