Last few weeks.


The last few weeks have gone pretty well. My average week has been 5 days ski training, physical training every afternoon and Sundays off. I am currently in England for 4 days visiting family and friends. Yesterday I was at the new Hemel Hempsted snow centre with my all mountain coach Pete Silver Gilespie. Was great to see the new centre and some old faces. Tomorrow i travel back to Austria to resume training. Cheers Ben.

3rd fastest in training!


Yesterday was another day of giant slalom timed runs. I came 3rd out of 22 racers, which I am so happy with because all the other athletes were a good standard (1st place had 35 points in GS). My giant slalom skiing is really coming on now, I think this will be my strongest discipline for the season. I am aiming to get under 100 points. Tomorrow is a free day, next week I will ski 4/5 days and continue to work on my fitness in the afternoons, Cheers Ben.
