Kitzbuhel Hahnenkamm Juniors
I was lucky enough, along with 5 team mates, to represent GBR as one of 12 national teams invited to the Hahnenkamm Juniors Races in Kitzbuhel, Austria. Part of the blue riband Kitzbuhel world cup week; we raced on unbelievable pistes in an unbelievable atmosphere. It was an unforgettable trip and I've written a blog on the Ambition website so you can read more about it. We didn't beat the Swiss, the USA or even Lichtenstein but we had an amazing, and ...

Trofeu Borrufa SG on YouTube
The Trofeu Borrufa organisers have put together a full run of my SG and (run 1) Slalom in Andorra on YouTube. Check it out at here (SG) and here (SL)
Trofeu Borrufa
A frustrating week in Andorra at the Trofeu Borrufa resulted in only two finishes across five race events including a mistake at gate 41 which ruined a potentially good slalom run. Overall Team GB came 5th thanks to great results from the girls including a win for Anna Henderson in SC, second in GS and second for Megan Jenkins in SG. Esmie Davies and Melissa Maiklem also got top-ten results. A small resort with great off-piste, I'd go back.
Andorra Bound
After the bad news of the Czech race cancellation in Ricky it's good news with a last-minute entry to the FIS races in Vallnord Andorra where there's four days racing including Super-G and Super Combined. The snow looks good, it's cold so hopefully good race conditions. Heading out this Saturday with the team for a few days of practice ahead of races starting on Monday 27th January. I'll post again with some results when I get back.
GB Team re-selection
Following the British Championships in early April and some fitness testing in May I've been re-selected for the GB Children's Team. This year I'm U16 and looking forward to a challenging season at this new level. Congrats to all the others who made the u16 and u18 teams.
Top 20 in Abetone
20th in GS at the FIS Pinocchio Sci event in Abetone was a good result in this 1-run race following a straddle in the slalom the previous day. This international event was attended by the majority of European skiing nations plus middle and Far East competitors.
Czech this
As a warm-up for the Ski Inter Kriterium races in the Czech resort of Ricky v Orlickych we competed in the Czech National Ski Championships. My 10th place in GS made up for a fall in the slalom and gave me and the other GB Team skiers an opportunity to get our race skis on after much travelling and a few days training.The Inter Kriterium races started well; 16th in U14 run 1 and 13th in run 2 resulted in 15th ...

Hintertux speed camp
I'm off to Hintertux in Austria this weekend for a week's speed skiing with the British Children's Ski Team. GS and Super-G only, no slalom skis allowed! Coach Sean Langmuir is already out in Austria and the snow looks really good. Dave Ryding is also out there and it would be cool to train with him.When I get back I've got a weekend fitness camp in Aviemore. I've never been, so I'm looking forward to that. I'll post some pictures ...
