Maybe Christine Keshen will throw a rock when the Players Championship draws closer in April.
But for now, she's going to relax and head to the mountains.
"I'm going skiing as much as I can until the Players Championship," said the lead for Shannon Kleibrink's Olympic bronze-medal curling rink.
The native of Invermere, B.C., arrived at Calgary airport from Turin, Italy, last night with Kleibrink, third Amy Nixon and second Glenys Bakker, greeted by a throng of friends and family.
Bakker was seeing her young children for the first time in weeks.
"Every day, I cried over these kids and not being with them," she said, cradling her son. "This is better than any gold or bronze medal."
The team faced adversity, struggling to find its place on the straight ice and falling ill to either a mystery virus or food poisoning.
Less could have splintered an ordinary team.
"It's Olympics," said Keshen.
"We've been through a lot in the two years we've been together. This is just another of those Kleibrink moments when we have to bring things back to reality and realize things aren't perfect all the time."
Kleibrink's husband, Richard, was in Pinerolo, Italy, for the two weeks of curling but he knew all along his wife would persevere through the tough times.
"She doesn't need a lot of help dealing with the tough times," he said. "She's extremely mentally tough.
"I've never met anyone like her. I'm not surprised they did well. They came through like stars."
The support shown at the airport last night was just a small reflection of that received throughout the two weeks, said Nixon.
