The season started off in pretty hectic style, I flew out the morning after my golf fundraiser event which went really well raising enough cash for me too get to the races I need to go to. Looking back it was too hectic as I trained 5 days, travelled up to Levi for the opening World Cup then jumped straight on the plane to Wittenburg for the indoor EC slalom, I really didnt ski well in these 2 races which knocked my confidence after training so well in the previous weeks. I had a few days training in Austria and some FIS races in Davos which were also pretty average and ended November feeling pretty frustrated . I took the decision to head over to Canada for the NorAm races at Panorama these races went alot better for me I skied alot better in the GS races especially the 2nd one where I unfortunately crashed but was encouraged by the my skiing, in the SL's I finished 3rd and 4th scoring a 16 which helps me a little there was also a combined where I finished 8th even with a huge mistake in the SuperG run.
From Panorama I headed to Nakiska for a FIS series 2GS & 2SL where there were a few good guys racing I definitely upped my game in those races but unfortunately the races didnt work out well for point I won 1 GS and 1 SL and got 2nd in the other SL.
I headed home for Xmas to catch up with my family and friends, which was alot of fun!! After Xmas I got 3 days of skiing in on Cairngorm which was sweet I even skied to Glenmore through the trees with a few mates......never done that before!!! I really didnt want to leave home because it was so cool just going skiing with my friends and hanging out when its a proper winter back home, I was gutted to miss out on whats now being called the 'Aviemore winter classic hockey match' on the pond behind the tennis club the boys didn't even let 20cm of overnight snow stop them and cleared the whole pond......good work boys!!!
So, I have a proper front tooth now, got that sorted on the way out to Sunday River. I am here to race in the next series of NorAms 2GS and 2SL over the next 4 days where the plan is to rip a couple of results down that will put me into the top 100 and make a move forward in GS too, going by my pre Xmas form I should be in good shape and I will also be starting in the top 7 which will also help. Seems to be dumping snow wherever I go at the moment there was about 10-15cm of fresh overnight here.
Cheers
