So after a full day of travelling… which was….
Flying from Calgary to Vancouver, shuttle bus from Vancouver to Whistler Olympic Village, getting our accreditation (which is basically your passport to get EVERYWHERE for the next week), another bus to Creekside Village, then a chair lift… ( I had a duffle bag with me this whole time), then a nice walk through the finish and up to our condo. It was an adventure in itself, but nothing my team doesn’t expect. Maybe you had to be there…. Here are some pictures.
Our condo is great – we are nice and cozy, and atmosphere of Whistler seems great. We all can’t wait to race.
Anna looking BEAUTIFUL as always!
Going up the Chair they added into Creekside – you have to take this chair to access the finish area, or you can walk… but I recommend the chair! 
My duffle bag that I dragged around everywhere!!!!
The finish… Left side is the men’s track, Right side is the women’s track!
Claire and Sydney! THANK YOU! Sydney has his helmet on, which has a SHARK COVER! WATCH OUT FOR HIM SKIING WHISTLER! Claire is holding Flat Peyton…. You will find out more about her soon!
I finally got to see my family last night for dinner. It’s amazing we are all together in the same place. It’s been way too long since our last “reunion”. My grandparents on my mom’s side are also here to cheer me on. They flew out with part of some home cooked meals…. YUMMMYYY!!!!!

Hi,
I am the oldest daughter of Daniel Albert Nagel who is the brother of your Grandmother Wanda. Which makes us related somehow. Guess your Mother and I are first cousins. For some years I have followed your life on the ski hills of the world. My husband John, and I wish you a great race in these 2010 Olympics. Thanks for sharing photo’s of you and your family.
“We Believe!” you can do it. We will be cheering you on !!
By the way love that helmet!! Pretty awesome paint job!!
Hi Brigitte: Jason and I will be watching for you–So exciting to see you there! Have a great time!! Can’t wait to see you flying down that hill. Good Luck!! (I can’t believe that last time we saw you we were mountain biking at Hiawatha–I guess it’s been a while) Love the photos–
Couldn’t figure out what happened to you on Wednesday when you didn’t ski in the Giant Slalom. Saw the Sault Star today and understand you will be skiiing on Friday. You don’t know me but I am just a senior (and was a long time resident of the Pointe area) who has been following your progress over the years. Will be watching on Friday and cheering loudly for you. Go Brigitte, Go – All the best – Jean
Hi Brigitte – Go Canada go! I believe in you! Good luck!
Thank you for taking Flat Payton skiing. It looks like she is having a great time. I can’t wait until I hear about more adventures with you. How many flags do you go through in your race? Do you ever get nervous with all of those fans watching you and cheering for you? Is Anna your roommate? What is your favourite part about racing? Have you ever fallen off of a chair lift like your brother Gavin almost did when he was little? My class is very excited to watch you ski on Friday!

I know that you will be successful in whatever you do…you are a great person to be representing Sault Ste. Marie…..GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN from the Luther
Family!!!!
Brigitte!!
Just wanted to wish you all the best on Friday! My Mom just told me about your blog this morning and it looks awsome. I’m home for a visit this week and we’re heading out to Searchmont tomorrow. So we’ll be watching you from there! I just thought I’d let you know that we’ll all be cheering for you just as much or more than we were 4 years ago.
All the best and ENJOY!
Just a little note to wish you and your family all the best and congradulations on going after your dream.
Thanks for the blog, enjoying the pictures.

Sault Ste. Marie BELIEVES in Brigette Acton! You’ve already made this city so proud. Best of luck on Friday.
Heey Brigitte, my name is Isabella and I did a biography of you as my english project and I was juat wondering if you could write about stuff that happened in your childhood…plz if you can…
So proud to hear you were competing once again as one of Canada’s young Olympians … can’t wait to see you race on Friday; we’ve never met but I used to live down the beach from your mom and dad and passed you by several times as you were jogging along Airport Rd. … I believe you are living your dream with the support of your mom and dad, your family, your personal friends and your community looking on proud!!! Go Brigitte … bonne chance!
