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

- Hi, my name is Ben Reid. I am 19 years old and from Aston Clinton, Bucks, England. I am a FIS alpine ski racer living full time in Mayrhofen Austria. I first started skiing when I was 4 at Hemel Hempsted dry ski slope. My life time goal is to win an olympic gold medal in alpine skiing, and compete on the world cup circuit. When I am not training on the hill, in the gym or racing I like to go climbing, play basketball, go out on my road bike, go swimming and spend time with friends.
Without any of these people below I would not be able to acheive any of my goals in my career as a ski racer. Cant thank them enough for their help, time and effort they put into me.
