Dec, 21 Update





Oh Boy!!!

It has been way too long since my last update ! Sorry! Since my arrival here it has been non stop. I have been focusing on getting everything prepared for the season.

It has been warm here so far and there are not many ski hills open. We are lucky here in Sugadaira that they can make snow! We are able to train in poles but the runs are not fully open. I believe if it stays warm we can still do excellent training using more free skiing. That is where we need to focus more anyway. Make a strong technical base to take into gates.

Miho and I took part in a Rossignol ski test last week. It was great! We meet the top leaders from Rossignol France . I actually know one of them from when I raced Pro. He was also racing at the same time. He is involved in product management.

I am looking froward to seeing all again this season.

Bye for now

Doug
