Well, looks like the forecast for Austria is getting clear and cold....... FINALLY!! I say thankyou but Justin has text me from the race meeting to say there are 240 boys competing in tomorrow's race.... plus 120 girls... and we thought CIT races were a way of easing into junior level racing! Looks like this is going to be a tough year!

We are now in Turnau to start it all off and through the next 9 days, there should be a variety of Ambition athletes racing every day. Training has been a little tough recently with some great sessions mixed in with powder days, though we have been able to rely on the piste at Hinterreit for some great training.

So first up Turnau for CIT SL & GS's, then Radstadt, followed by Lackenhof and finally Maria Alm and Spital. Then we head to the Welsh Champs. It will be busy but at least we have the chance to race. 

In the mean-time the kids will be training back in Leogang, maybe racing nearby in the Austrian series and getting ready for our onslaught on Les Crosets.

This pic will seem pretty standard for most people but when you haven't seen the sun or sky for 10 days it was pretty refreshing!!!!!
