Slalom and adrenaline training!

Excellent slalom training last week at Mt Dobson and my summer training in UK snowdomes has paid off. Dobson is the only mountain I've ever skied at without any permanent buildings, just a caravan, container selling lift tickets, mini cafe and drop toilets (no flush necessary)! The skiing however was well worth the minimalist amenities. We had mostly sunny weather, just one snowy day followed by powder 'training'.

After a beautiful drive through the Mackenzie country, we are now in Queenstown where we started the NZ Winter Games with some adrenaline training today, swinging off a 60m rope swing into a dramatic river gorge!

The plan is: race training Monday, then racing Super G Tuesday, Giant Slalom Friday and Slalom Saturday. Bring it on!
