The British Disabled A, B and Development Teams arrived in New Zealand two weeks ago, for some excellent training. Mt Hutt has some good steeps for gates training. Last week we focussed on Giant Slalom and got a few runs in on speed skis. We've been doing early starts - on the lift at 7:30am, which means 5am rise, so lots of early nights and beautiful sunrises. Unfortunately its turned windy and the mountain’s been renamed ‘Mt SHutt’ for the last couple of days.
We move onto Coach’s home mountain, Mt Dobson on Saturday to train Slalom for a week followed by the NZ Winter Games for which we’ll be based in Queenstown.
This country is beautiful, my wonderful cousin Rob’s been putting me up, helping out with the team and adapting, fiberglassing and fixing my monoski which all seem pretty successful. Thanks cuz, you’re a superstar!
Coach is pleased with my skiing progress. It’s all going well!
