Update part 2

I have spent the last week training alongside the Canadian World Cup Men's Team, and they kindly allowed me to race train on their race training hill. Even though the weather has turned very warm and the snow being very soft, it has been a solid training week. I was looking forward to the races held on the 10th & 11th March at the Tirol Championships in Jerzens, Austria.
I took lots of postitives from last weekends racing at the Tirol Championships in Jerzeens Austria. I was representing my WSV Tux ski club and competing against many of the top Austrian up and coming racers. In the first Slalom run I put down a fantastic time which placed me at 4th overall.
Now coming into the last few weeks of the season, will keep you updated. Cheers, Ben

Janurary Reveiw.

After a bad start to the season with the snow, it has finally arrived this month in heaps!! This has made it difficult to race though, as when it snows the weather is mostly closed in and there is to much new snow on the piste, which makes it soft and therefore to dangerous for racing!

I have picked up some great experince though this month by being forrunner for two very big races! The first one was a Giant Slalom in Kirchberg where I spend most of the time training. The second was a Slalom in Westendorf where the top 30 slalom racers in the world were also competing. Westendorf was such a great experince with just under 3000 spectators watching and it being a night! I was the very first skier down the course to open the race, really did feel the nerves in the start house looking down at so many people on the side of the slope and in the finish, was a great feeling finishing both runs though!

I am now back in Kirchberg training and preparing for my next races at the end of this week on the 26th and the 27th in Flizmoos, Austria. Will keep you updated, Cheers Ben

New Year!!

Happy new year to all! I had a good few days back home in the Uk and got back out to Austria on the 27th and Spent new years eve in Mayrhofen. Today I am leaving to go back to Kirchberg to train for the week.

Finally the snow has arrived so all of the lifts and the slopes are open over in the Kitzbuhel alps, this means we now have a great selection of training hills.

I have a bit of a break now between the races so we are going to use the time well to focus on some good training and getting stronger!

Looking forward to attacking the new year and bringing in some good results in the next races, will keep you updated, Cheers Ben
