Having begun competing as a weekend warrior commuting to Vail from Denver, Keenan moved to Vail this year to train daily with, one of America’s most renowned ski clubs. When Lindsey Vonn was Keenan’s age, she moved from Minnesota to train with SSCV because she wanted to be a downhiller and Minnesota didn’t have the mountains for it.
Mogul skiers wear knee pads that contrast in color with the rest of their suits so judges can see how well their knees are moving in unison. Keenan, who began competing at age 8, picked up the habit of putting smiley faces on her knee pads from her dad. It has become her trademark. Keenan’s willingness to take risks springs in part from the adrenaline rushes they give her. She also understands taking risks helps her improve.
“He’s looking at me like I’m a loser,” Keenan said. “He said, ‘The best skiing in the world is Colorado and Utah. Why would you go to a little hill here in Vermont?’ But I’m like, ‘It’s Killington, the Beast of the East.’ He said, ‘The East.’ I dismissed him, but a week later, front cover of Ski magazine: ‘Vail No.1 ski resort in North America.’ I called my buddy and said, ‘We’re going to Vail.’ I got in my car, drove here and never went home.
You go girl!!!!!
It's really nice to see you totally devalue her achivement by saying she's special because she did while being black.
