Ski training update.

The last two days I have been on the glacier, yesterday I was free skiing GS and today was GS in the gates. I did around 11 runs, my overall performance was a good standard and the conditions were amazing. My new skis also feel great.

This afternoon I will go for a short run and do some upper body conditioning. Tomorrow I am back on the Glacier training Giant Slalom, Cheers Ben.

Perfect training conditions.

Today I was training giant slalom on the glacier. It was an awsume days training. My performance was good, the glacier has had 80cm of new snow and this morning there was not a cloud in the sky! Tommrow I am back on Hintertux training giant slalom again.
