January 20, 2010 - Sestriere, Italy

I am so excited! I just got my first World Cup podium of the season today: a 2nd in Downhill here in Sestriere, Italy. What a great day! Plus, we have another Downhill scheduled for tomorrow, so I'm excited for that as well. We've been on the road in Europe for nearly 3 weeks now, racing nearly every day. It's been an incredibly intense schedule. First we were in Roll-Rinn, Austria (not far from Innsbruck). There we had a G.S. and a Slalom. The G.S. went well and the Slalom a little less so. After Roll-Rinn we moved on to Abtenau, Austria (near Salzburg) where we had race after race it seemed. We had a bunch of Slalom and G.S. races and although my Slalom results don't look the best, I was skiing some amazing Slalom there, but it's always pretty tight and crazy with Slalom and mistakes are bound to happen when you're pushing it. So, that's the quick update from Sestriere, Italy. One more Downhill, a super-G and a Super-Combined on the schedule before we head home back to Canada. Thanks for all your support everybody
