While December was a pretty tough month where snow conditions hindered our ability to race, early January has seen record snowfalls in Austria, also hindering our ability to compete with races being cancelled left, right and centre... 

But there is light at the end of tunnel, or more in the sky as today was perfectly clear and damn cold! Imi was on fire in GS training today, leading the 2nd & 3rd runs on the timing session that included girls on less than 30 GS points. Point taken Imi, you are better on the steeper, injected slopes than on soft snow on the flats. We are feeling very positive indeed for tomorrow's race in Maria Alm!

Meanwhile over in Radstadt, Luke Riddell and Max Asquith got their 2nd FIS Super-G's and Super-Combi's under their belt, Luke with a stronger performance and Max getting used to going fast on a pair of skis that at full reach he would struggle to touch the tip. All new experiences for these 2 and i was glad to hear from Justin that they both made positive changes on yesterday and were both in the finish.

All of this alongside Kieran's result from last week really makes me feel like we have got the ball rolling now. Hopefully the weather will stay calm and the guys can carry this momentum through to February.

Here's one of Imi's runs from today..... Think she is better suited to Hinterreit than Turnau!
