Update/ Up and Coming Races.

The last 2 days I have been training Slalom in Pass Thurn, Tirol, Austria. It was a good but tiring couple of days. We were training full Slalom courses around 55 gates long. I was also testing new goggles and lenses as I am switching my helmet and goggle brand to Uvex.

Today I have a day off from Skiing, So going to do some light cycling, fast footwork and stretching.

Tommorow I have a night Slalom race in Westendorf, Austria and then on Monday and Tuesday 2 Giant Slalom races in Zell am See Austria. I am feeling good and looking to score some good points, Will let you know how it goes. Cheers Ben.

Weekly Update/Bad Conditions.

I ended up not racing last Sunday due to bad conditions on the race hill, Monday was back to normal training though.

Over the last week we were training Giant slalom in Hochfilzen, Tirol, Austira. I had 4days of solid, consistant training seeing more improvment in my skiing. The training slope was flat at the top, then a steep section with some nice rollers to finish, Photo left.

On Friday we travelled 4 hours for 2 Giant Slalom races in Turnau, Steiermark, Austria. I woke up on Saturday morning feeling great and ready to go, but we arrived at the race hill only to find out that they had cancelled the race due to overly warm, wet conditions. Even though they had worked through the night to try and get the slope ready there was no way we could race on it! Later that day they announced that Sundays race was also cancelled. So in the the end it was an 8 hour round trip for no racing, I was beyond frustrated, but thats the weather and Skiracing for you!

Tomorrow is back to training and this week I am hoping to race in a Giant Slalom here in Kirchberg and a Slalom race in Westerndorf which is only 20 minutes away, both races are Senior FIS on tricky slopes. Will keep you updated, cheers Ben.

The Weeks Training Upadate.

This week I trained 5 days of slalom on the Ganslern World Cup Slalom piste in Kitzbuhel. For the first 2 days I was a bit rusty, but after the 3rd day things really started to come together and I felt that I made a step forward with my slalom skiing this week.

The slope was tough and icey, but I had great sharp skis on my feet thanks to my trainer Wolfi, meaning I was able to grip well on the sheet ice. Left is a photo of me looking out of the start in training.

This Sunday I have a slalom race in Hochfugen, really looking forward to it after having a good weeks training. Will let you know how it goes! cheers Ben

Happy New Year!

So much has been happening over the last few months! Training has been going great, Ones Global Talent have come on board as my lead sponsor and I have moved training locations. My new training base is now Kirchberg in Tirol. Thanks to my ski trainer Wolfi we have a great selection of training slopes here.

Last week I recived all of my new sponsor clothing from Ones Global Talent, its looks great check out the picture above.

Over the next few weeks, we will continue to train here in Kirchberg and around the Kitzbuhel area.
