Keely Cashman has trained much of her entire life to be one of the top alpine skiers in the country. And after years of commitment and dedication, that time invested on the slopes has paid off. Keely will represent the United States at the Longines Future Ski Champions race on Saturday in Val d’Isere, France. The 15-year-old Tuolumne County resident, who is a member of the United States National Training Group, earned a coveted spot on the 14-person Giant Slalom competition after outstanding recent performances.“It’s pretty surreal,” Keely said. “It’s crazy and I never expected this, this early in my career, but it’s pretty awesome. Ever since I started skiing, it’s always been a goal. I was pretty excited. I didn’t really believe it because I didn’t expect it anytime soon. I’m just so happy. I’m a little nervous, but I’m excited to have this opportunity.”
