Wow it has been crazy! Where to begin… In January I left for Schweitzer Idaho, for the J2 national speed qualifiers. The trip was lots of fun and we had good weather. I was not thrilled with my results, but had to remind myself, it was my first DH race ever, and I had only been on my skis one time before racing.
After Schweitzer, I met my Chilean ski team friends for a quick week of training in Vail. It was great speaking Spanish again, and finally training for a short block. I was super happy with the way my training was progressing and felt I improved a ton while there. After Vail I headed to the Utah Tech series.
The girls raced GS at Park City the first two days and then went to Snowbird for Slalom. There were so many great racers, and it was fun watching all the college skiers rip up the hill.
Finally I returned home after 3 weeks. It was nice to see my family again, and my teachers were happy I was at school for a few days. Last weekend we had the annual Alyeska Cup races. I was only able to race 2 of the 4 races, a GS and one SL race. In the GS race, first run I got wide and came to almost a complete stop, but was forth on the run with 3 of the UAA college racers ahead of me. Second run I maintained my place, and my time was closer to theirs.
This week we have the college races at my home mountain and I am looking forward to skiing fast!
