Massive gap since the last post, been strangely busy with only a few athletes here this week. Plans have changed again and again, we were originally going to go to Austria for some UNI races but the forecast looked pretty rough over there and with clear nights here we decided to stay for training instead.

On friday we had a great timing session on the Stella Alpina piste with the senior boys, some of the guys putting in some impressive times in training now which is great to see.

On saturday we had a day off and awaited the arrival of Aza, Will, Roy and Ellie (Ellie has sadly been sick so will now come today), and yesterday we had a great GS session working in groups of 2 athletes: 1 coach, Chris taking the lead for the younger boys with Vi and Emily P with me. Barney and Imi meanwhile travelled with Melody to the local CIT races in Santa Caterina.

Imi, fresh off of 1 slalom training day since August, scored an equal best result in slalom even with a huge error in the 1st run. A great first result back and proof that the hard work she did in the summer has still had benefits even after missing the autumn.

Off to set Super-G now, catch you later.
