U.S Training

Training is going well here at Lake Tahoe, California.
The majority of my training so far has been my favourite discipline Slalom, we've been training gates four days a week on the Alpine Meadows Race Arena, a great facility closed to the public.
Snow conditions are lacking as far as free skiing goes but are perfect, hard and fast for Slalom Training, just the way I like it :)

New Boots / Thanks Dalbello

I trained G.S today at Squaw Valley breaking out my new Dalbello Scorpion Boots care of a Race Department Sponsorship direct from the factory in Italy.

The difference is amazing, they are much quicker edge to edge with a very precise fit and much closer contact to the ski.

I then headed over to the Start Haus in Truckee for a custom footbed fitting this afternoon and can't wait to head out again tomorrow to see the improvements.

Merry Christmas everyone, be sure to make some turns on Christmas Day :)

Training In The U.S

We arrived in the U.S on Friday afternoon and after a reasonably uneventful drive from San Francisco across to Tahoe City we settled in and got some rest.

I've been training SL at Alpine Meadows for the past two days, conditions are perfect with hard packed snow, two courses set one after another in the shade and a dedicated chairlift just for the race course!

I've made some new friends and worked hard over the past couple of days so I'm feeling happy with where I'm at after three months away from the snow.

We're training G.S  at Squaw Valley tomorrow then a couple of days off for Christmas, I'm looking forward to skiing with the family on Christmas Day :)

Summer Training

Thanks to my amazing Trainer Braden Lee at Fight Science here in Queenstown for keeping me

in shape before heading away to Squaw Valley in a couple of weeks...

Thanks Dalbello

I'm stoked with my new Dalbello Boot Sponsorship direct from the Race Department at the factory in Italy.

It will be interesting to feel the difference skiing in a full blown race boot once I get to Squaw Valley in a couple of weeks time.

Thanks Reno, Ivan and the Race Dept Team at Dalbello :)
