The past week was the first stage of my summer training, with British Ski Academy team mate Jazzy Butcher. We managed to cram a lot in, mountain biking, hiking, rowing in the Lake District and then 4 days of drills at Chill Factore (indoor slope, Manchester). It was an awesome week and I feel like I was able to work on a few things from last season, such as keeping my hips in a forward position over my skis all the time (I actually realised how far back I was last season!) and moving my hip in laterally during the turn to strengthen the turn and allow me to create bigger edge angles and turn the skis quicker. Without a coach it meant we were relying on feedback from our skis and body, and a little bit of video. I found this really useful as it gave me time to link all of my movements together and play around to find what worked best for me. Moving into BSA's summer camp my key focus will be on adapting to the terrain and varying conditions, and that is only 2 weeks away! I can't wait! Last week Summit Worldwide released a new ski goggle, which looks amazing! I used their goggles last season and I was really impressed at how the magnetic lenses worked and how cool they were! A huge shout out goes to GLL Sports Foundation for their help and support with gym membership, which has been fantastic as I've been spending so much time in the gym getting ready for next season! Below is a video from the week, I'm the skier in the lighter blue jacket, grey salopettes and purple helmet :)
