Olympic Gold Medalist Julia Mancuso returned home to Palisades Tahoe USA this week for some final training on home turf before heading to Vancouver.

During her visit, Julia took a few runs and signed autographs with a group of budding skiers - several hundred kids that are part of the Palisades Tahoe Ski Team's Mighty Mite program. She made a stop at the base of the mountain to sign autographs and show off her new sweatshirt design.
