In 2004, she continued to make her mark on the Nor-Am Cup by winning two Super-G races at Big Mountain, Montana.

    Putting the ‘I’ Back in Team

As an athlete in an individual sport, she relied heavily on the ‘team’ of individuals around her. Now, working as a broadcaster, Kelly sees the same set of parameters with an individualized performance element, that still relies heavily on the team supporting it.
