From mid October to the start of November, I was in Hintertux, Austria, for a solid 3 week block of training. It was an awesome camp and I really enjoyed it! It was great to get more time in gates and be able to work on things in small chunks and work up into a full course. At the start of the camp conditions were epic, blue skies and really hard snow (it was more like ice!). The first few days I was working on keeping a solid upper body and working with my outside ski above the gate, and by the end of the week we were able to train Super-G on a flatish hill so really working on a good tuck position and still being able to work the skis. The second week brought more challenges and a lot of snow, it's fair to say the (GS) courses we set were pretty bumpy! And the snow gradually packed out to the last week where we were training Slalom, and I was really happy with my last run (as it was probably my best) because I felt like I was able to bring everything we had been working on in the camp together. Since then I've had a bit of time at home to get fully ready for the season and head back to the gym. It was awesome to be able to go to Castleford Snowzone with Ravens ski club and get back on skis (at slightly lower altitude and with shorter courses!). Also huge thanks to Alain Baxter for helping make me with my boot fitting! On Monday I head out to Aosta for the season and I can't wait, with the first races of the season 7/8th of December! Bring it on!
