What A Week!

Wow, what a week it's been!
Snow, snow and more snow, in fact just over 60cm this week, the powder skiing has been amazing!
A.J and I had the best day on Wednesday as the storm cycle rolled through the Tahoe Basin, there was too much new snow to train so we ditched and lapped K.T 22 for most of the day in what was boot top to knee deep powder, G.S Bowl was awesome, it was fantastic to ski Squaw with my team mate and with so much snow after the past two years where new snow has been scarce to say the least!
We managed some training this week, some solid Slalom work on Exhibition with the U.S NTG Girls joining us for the past few days, it's been great to be back in such highly regarded company!
The first of the Far West Regional Qualifiers get underway at Squaw Valley tomorrow, 2 x SL + 1 x G.S over the next three days, I'm feel OK but a little under done, will give it my best shot and see how I go.
Wish me luck, updates on Sunday.

Ready To Go!

Having caught up on sleep after travelling 21hrs from Queenstown to Tahoe City and jumping from 30 degrees to -10 degrees along with the altitude change - 300m above sea level in Queenstown to 2500m on the course at Squaw Valley and fighting off a tummy upset I've now recovered and acclimatised and am ready to train with greater focus.
I skied / trained three half days last week to get my ski legs and rhythm back, I'm looking forward to a solid week of hard work this week heading into my first Far West Qualifying Races next weekend.
