Well, I’ve been here for 2 weeks now and things haven’t started out so great for me! Unfortunately before I left to Europe I had a fall in the gym onto my shins doing box jump which left them very badly bruised. I had only just gotten my shins better from last season injury and now this! I tried to ski last Saturday but was only able to do 3 runs before heading in. I’ve been here in Zurich since then and have been working hard on my fitness. The bruising is only temporary and should be able to ski in the first comp which is the Jeep King of the Mountain in Snowbird (3rd of December) so I will leave here on Tuesday and hopefully get some skiing in over there before the comp.

I then come straight back for the first Crossmax (which was postponed) in Solden. Hopefully a week of training and fitness then it’s time for the first WC so fingers cross my shins will be ok!

There isn’t much snow here in Europe so no one is doing too much training right now The temperature is dropping so hopefully this rain will turn into snow every soon.

I have Michael Dickson coming over to help me out with training and racing once the World Cups start which will be a big help.

Sorry there isn’t much to report but at least I’m here and in amongst all the action well, kind of anyway! I hope to have more news for you once the Jeep comp kicks off
