Early Christmas from Two Seasons!

Returned home to find a package from Two Seasons...

Super Icebreaker merino wool thermals and warm bodyfit top (georgeous, soft, comfy, cosy thermal wear that smells fresh regardless of how many exhausting slalom turns or moguls I fight my way though!), socks, mitts, Little Hotties hand and food warmers, tee shirts, a hoodie and thermal top to keep me toastie and a new tuning iron to make my skis fast!



Thanks so much to Two Seasons who have stuck by me for the last 3 years! You are wonderful!

GB Pre-Season Austria Training

Snow, snow, wind, snow, and very poor visibility… where’s the sun?!

GB camp started well despite the weather. I’ve been working hard on technique and slipped smoothly back into skiing. I’m feeling balanced and loving the buzz of training in the mountains with the team.

Our support team has been a huge help. We have been working closely with Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) head of strength and conditioning, Nick Ward, and head physiotherapist Gordon Turner, in order to be in peak fitness to deliver the ultimate performance in alpine skiing. Without TASS (SportAid) support I would not have been able to train and compete in the Paralympics last year or continue with skiing this season.

Sports Psychologist, Deirdre Angella from EIS South West also worked closely with the team, enabling athletes and coaches develop mental skills and a goal-centred focus on performance. Psychology certainly helps me rationalise racing down icy slopes at 60mph!

I’m now back in the UK for a short break before Europa Cup races in December and qualification for the World Champs in January. A positive start to the season and I am confident of a successful season to come!

First Week on Snow

The ski season is officially upon us! I just got home from a Gravity Snowsports week in Hintertux, Austria with Ski MK Racers. It feels great to be back on snow!

We had 80cm of fresh snow the first day, the perfect way to ease into the season. Day two: bump skiing, great reflex training! Followed by a few days in Giant Slalom gates.

Gravity coaches, Glen and Matt gave some excellent advice as always: Video to follow!

Thank you Tony from Edge2Win for your expert tuning support with getting kit prep'd for this World Championship season.

I've a few aches, after the odd crash but very much looking forward to going back to Austria on Sunday for team GB pre-season training camp. Europa Cup races start in December followed by Worlds in Jan in Sestriere, Italy.
