Are you ready for Christmas?

We made it back from 2012 Midwestern Sectional Figure Skating Championships, Thank you to everyone at the Fort Collins Figuring Skating Club, for their hospitality and taking great care of us. A BIG thank you to Maureen with Go Figure Skating in Ft. Collins (pictured in previous post) for having us up with her and for also taking great care of me!  We hope it was a great time for all the competitors and congratulations to those of you who qualified for Jr. Nationals and Nationals!

As seen in the pictures previously posted, our good friends Kim and Chaz came to watch Midwesterns and stopped by to say “Hi”, Chaz, we miss watching you skate!  Also pictured was Yuka Sato, who I was honored to meet she was there coaching several of her students including our friend, Alexe Gilles.  Alexe and her mom Bonnie Gilles also stopped by and we were able to spend some time with them.  Not pictured this time, we also got to see our friends Mariah and Morgan Bell, always a please to visit with them and their family.  Loved watching all of them practice, good luck to all of them this season!

Where are we next!  Ready, set, go!

So will be at the 5th Annual Aspen Invitational Competition on Saturday, December 3, 2011 at the Lewis Ice Arena at the Aspen Recreation Center, Aspen, Colorado.  Let us help you with your holiday shopping; we will have lots of Christmas ornaments and gifts for the skater as well as wonderful Coaches gifts.  Please feel free to contact us before the competition and we can have your order ready when you arrive. 

We will be leaving Aspen and headed to Big Bear Ice Arena on Sunday December 4, 2011 for their holiday exhibition.  Please e mail or call us if there is anything we can have ready for you before we get there.

Also in December we will be at the Apex Ice Arena for their holiday exhibition and skate swap, on Sunday, December 18 from 3 to 7 pm.

We hope everyone has a wonderful and happy holiday season, if we can help make your gift giving easier we also offer Gift Certificates for your skater!

See you in Aspen, Aurora and Arvada!

Who are the people behind SkatersChoiceColorado.com

As most of you know my best helper is my Mom aka Sally (so now everyone knows her name).  She keeps me well organized, does an amazing job on beading, is the best tight sorter ever and keeps me grounded when I freak out!

Most of you have met my girls, Emma (the Skater, the reason Skater’s Choice started) aka Skater’s Choice Product Tester and Molly aka Skater’s Choice Shipping Manager (if you ask her).

The whole family gets involved some days, even my shhh…. don’t tell her I told you, my 98, yes I said it, my 98 year old grandmother!  Who will never see this blog, she doesn’t own nor want or would know how to turn one on.  She is awesome and I know we already put the picture up earlier, I just had to share the story.

She usually comes over twice a month to my mom’s to hang out on the weekend, yes, she still lives independently!  So while she was over we were working on photographing dresses for the web and she was sitting in chatting with us.  Mom had to take care of a few things so Gram started helping me.  Putting the dresses on the bust, turning them for the front and back photo and taking the dresses off the bust.  Some of the things she said, oh my goodness!  She had me cracking up, I laughed so hard! I kept telling her she didn’t have to help and she kept telling me she was fine and was having a good time.

When the evening was over and she was going home, I thanked her for all her hard work and she told me that she had a ball and I should definitely call her the next time I need to photograph dresses for the website!

Thanks Gram, you rock!
