Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

So, finished for the year and not a hell of a lot to show for it Sad.

Strange how giant improvements in skiing technique are not translating into giant improvements in race time. The ESF coaches at ADH, who I have a lot of time for, reckon that fitness is the issue. If the necessary lifestyle changes can be made starting now, then there might be time for a final go in the Autumn, otherwise it is probably all over folks.

Thats an interesting comment. I've wondered for a while if the focus for 'Instructor' race test training is wrong. A lot of technical, not enough 'race'. To be a racer as much a state of mind as anything else.

Different strokes for different folks I reckon. In retrospect there was far too much banging into slalom poles this year. This years comment was "press on the outside ski", repeated ad-nauseum.

Worked just fine in free skiing, yet fell apart in the slalom. Not quite the strength and quickness to keep it up at race speeds.

She did plenty of races as well, even picked up a nice plastic cup from one! The mental side was not a problem. She said that it was the first year she stood at the top of the signal and was not scared shitless!

Remains to be seen... It will require some serious lifestyle changes and it has to come from inside I suppose. Not up to me to decide.

I'm sorry, but I just can't get images to post. That's the L2A glacier right now though. Wonderful conditions and full size slalom gates tomorrow!

It might be because that URL is a web page.
Try using the URL for the image itself https://imgpile.com/images/uNXyM4.jpg
