Audi FIS World Cup 2013/14

Wow it was so cool to see the first Audi World Cup Race from Soelden last night, so inspiring, can't wait to be back on snow...

Squaw Valley

Eight weeks and counting until I head away to Squaw Valley, California for the Summer.
Really looking forward to a White Christmas, training in a new environment, racing in the U.S and making some new friends :)

Spring Training

Now that all racing has wound up for the NZ season and I've had a good weeks rest it's back into the gym twice a week with my amazing trainer Braden Lee mixed up with some cardio and core classes with my Mum.
So cool to be training alongside my Mum :)

Mikaela Shiffrin

So cool to have met Mikaela Shiffrin earlier in the season when she was training SL right beside us at Coronet Peak.
Thanks for your inspirational advice and encouragement Mikaela, you'd have to say it certainly paid off!

2013 Sponsors

I want to say a big thank you to my 2013 Sponsors - Gerald from Bobo Sports / Dynastar New Zealand, Ivan from Outside Sports Queenstown, Davey from Atlas Cafe Queenstown and of course my Parents ( MAP Productions Queenstown ) for always being there to support me and drive me forward :)
Your support and belief in me has been both awesome and inspiring allowing me to achieve my goals and perform to the best of my ability throughout the season.
Here's hoping your generosity extends into 2014 and beyond.

Squaw Valley 2013 /2014

A weeks rest and some fun with non skiing friends in the last week of the school holidays then it's back into the gym before heading away to the U.S / Squaw Valley on December 20th to train and race with the Squaw Valley Ski Team, can't wait....

South Island Champs / National Points Races Mt Hutt

The Final Round of competition for the 2013 Season took place at Mt Hutt over the weekend with the South Island Champs taking place on Saturday and the last of the National Points Races on Sunday.
With spring conditions the decision was made to race Slalom on both days which very much suited me as SL is my strength :)
After the first run on Saturday I was in 1st place but my QAST team mates Alice Robinson and Alex Hull both skied exceptionally well, both with faster second run times than me which pushed me back to 3rd place and a Bronze Medal Podium finish with just 0.41 seconds separating the three of us!
After the first race on Sunday I found myself once again in 1st place with a fraction of a second ( 0.12 sec ) lead over my team mate Sophie Thompson, the second run saw my QAST team mate Alice Robinson ski a phenomenal run to take another 1st placing pushing me into 2nd place and a Silver Medal Podium finish with Sophie T finishing in 3rd place - QASTies take all three podium positions on both days, well done girls.
A great weekend of competitive ski racing and team fun, thanks Mt Hutt for a great event :)
