Pre-race training at Queenstown

Monday:
5am start, 6am load bus. Skiing Coronet Peak for sunrise on 2m speed skis. We skied straight down the race hill at 20s intervals with other disabled and able-bodied (AB) racers. Good practise to experience the course and be surprised by a little air (flying). There’s lots of terrain on this course and a tricky steep section but I know I can do it.

Then I did more super G turns with the Winter Park Team who I trained with last season, before the lifts opened to the public at 9am (it’s unsafe to train at speed with the public). I am feeling really positive about my speed skiing and ready to race!
