The 2010/11 winter season has finally come to an end, and
what a season it’s been! There have been many highs and lows, new friends,
great experiences, and overall an incredible five months.
Today was the last race of the season; World Cup finals in
Voss, Norway. I finished in 15th place, making it my 5th
top 15 result on World Cup this season, and 9th top 20. Overall I
finished in 18th place in the World rankings. Last year I was 33rd,
and the year before that 52nd, so it has been quite a massive
improvement in two years!
I am now on my way home to Australia. I am looking forward
to some warm weather, sleeping in my own bed, and a good coffee! I will be
heading straight back to uni, where I’ve already missed the first four weeks of
my third year Architecture degree. Hopefully it won’t take too long to catch
up!
I’ve put together another video blog from the last part of
the season. Click on the below link to view it online!
Now for a quick summary of the season in a few words…
Best new experience: Backcountry hiking and skiing in
Verbier, Switzerland.
Worst experience: The unfair decision to re-run my best race
at World Champs.
Favourite ski cross track: Grindelwald, Switzerland.
Best pizza: San Candido, Italy
Favourite new destination: London
Best view: Top of Grindelwald, Switzerland. View of the
Eiger and Jungfrau Mountains.
I hope you’ve enjoyed keeping up-to-date with my somewhat
crazy and fast-paced life overseas on the World Cup Ski Cross tour.

(Spring in Norway! It still looks like mid-Winter. I can't see the snow going anywhere for a long time!)
