Zurich

We arrived in Zurich this morning after a long day of travelling. Aspen was a pretty crazy downhill. The weather for the first two training runs was good and then it started snowing and snowing and snowing. The race was cancelled on Friday and we had an epic powder day. On Saturday we ran the downhill race and they threw out the Super-G. There was a lot of soft snow on the course and my team mate Britt Janyk won the race! We were all so excited we could hardly contain ourselves! I wanted to cry I was so happy for her. Being a Whistler native she grew up on that snow and she owned it! By the time I left the start gate the weather had taken a turn for the worse. Half the Austrians pulled out of the race because they didn't like the conditions. I could barely make out the first gate and the fog persisted for the first 4 turns. After that the course was in pretty good shape but the visibility was poor and off the track there was a lot of built up snow. I made it down and skied all right and ended up in 26th position. It's good to get some World Cup points and I hope that the trend keeps going in this direction. The racer behind me made it down, the racer behind her almost crashed and the girl behind her did crash and dislocated her knee cap. It is really unfortunate that 2 girls got hurt and I hope that they both recover quickly. After the second crash and a lengthy hold, the race was cancelled. The race still counts but the rest of the field did not get to start.
