Pitzal Glacier Austria - Europa Cups.

29th Nov 2016

Great flight over the ditch on Lufthansa, to Munich and then a quick drive down to Innsbrook and up to Pitzal.

Amazing location to be competing and training, view from the top of gondola.  We are here until the 12th Dec when we shift to Montafon for the first World Cup.

I'm doing a couple of Europa Cups really looking forward to getting back on a track for the first time in months actually on snow!

Montafon SBX World Cup Austria, Market Day

15th Dec 15

Last day in Austria - it's been a great trip with lots of training and racing - back to USA for more training and then on to the next races planned.

Have a Great Holiday Season - where ever you are in the World.

Swarovski Museum, Austria, Rest Day.

30th Nov 15

Had a great day exploring the Swarovski Museum - pretty amazing some of the displays.

Hows my Scary shot!

 It says: Largest Hand Cut Crystal in the World with 100 facets (310,000 carats) 1995.

Europa Cup, Pitzal, Austria

24th Nov 15

Freezing conditions here today at Pitzal -20 C serious layering required.

It was supposed to be the official training day for the first Europa Cup - but the Race Officials decided that with 136 male competitors, they needed to get into the qualifiers as the forecast weather tomorrow wasn't looking good. So it was on! awesome getting back into Race mode.

Short day turned long but happy to get through to top 64 for the heats tomorrow.  Biggest field I have ever competed in most of the Olympic/World Cup guys, Nationals and Juniors all using event as a stepping stone to other events.

Only one Chopper required today, so fingers crossed the course will take it easy on competitors tomorrow - only the start of the season!
