Storm has Been Weathered

Since the storm things have looked up pretty good. We have had some pretty amazing weather, sunny and clear skys! The snow conditions have been getting better everyday. Still a little soft but improving. The DH track is a lot of fun. Lionel was able to build up a very nice jump! As you can see in the photo. The jumps sending us about 60 metres with a smooth landing. Im feeling good on my skis, making gains in GS. Training alongside reigning World Cup Overall Champ Aksel Lund Svindal is always a bonus. Between the Norwegians and Canadians there's some great competition and some very solid skiing. Its nice to know how I'm doing when I have such a good skier to measure off of!!! Today was the first of 3 days of DH followed by one day of SG. Then were planning on finishing off the camp with 2 days of GS.

Heading to Chile

After a pretty EPIC summer of fun in the sun on boats, Islands, lakes, cabins with my best buds its time to get serious! Im back in Portillo, Chile for a 2 week speed camp where the focus is mainly DH and SG. Earlier this summer I was down in New Zealand for 3 weeks and the focus was all about the GS. Im excited to be here and looking forward to skiing some DH, my favourite event!!! The track here has a little bit of everything to offer. Big steep turns, some gliding a fun jump that sends you 50-60 metres! The jump ranges every year. Depends on how much snow there is and how confident Lionel is on our jumping skills this early in the season!!! Unfortunately the weather moved in the day we got here and I think its staying for a few days. So.... I sense some powder skiing coming!!!!
