Adelboden recap and getting ready!

@Zoom-Agence

Adelboden is, as every year, a spectacular race! This year the conditions we're perfect and I managed to ski a good 2nd run that ended my fight on the piste in a 9th place. This brought me in to the top 15 for the next race which is the GS World Champ in Schladming. Looking much forward to that! What I've heard it's going to be an amazing event.

I literally cooled down a week at home after Adelboden. It felt like living on the North Pole being back in Finland again. Squeezed in some good days of power training and then headed back down to the Austrian alps last Sunday. Got a few runs of SG in Radstadt and had some effective GS days here in the area with good competitors. Compared my skills with Matts, Jim, Phillipp, Christoph and Marcel Mathis. Always fun to train with these guys!

Tomorrow I'm still skiing in the morning and then get to fall asleep in my own bed in Helsinki. Have some duties to take care of before we leave for Schladming next Friday!

Adelboden coming up!

Hey and Happy New Year to everyone!

Adelboden is coming up this Saturday! After breakfast in Austria and lunch in Italy I arrived here in Suisse yesterday evening for dinner. At the moment I'm looking at the slope from my balcony and enjoying a day off. It's a shame the forecast says snow for tomorrow so FIS cancelled the slope inspection training. We usually get the day before the race 45 minutes to free ski on the race hill and it's always a lot of fun.

Saturday after the race I'm jumping in the car and driving to Munchen. I've been on the road since the middle of November and I'm finally going to enjoy a nice week at home! Then the next race is Schladming World Champs. Got a taste of the race hill on Christmas break, even though they had all the snow canons firing at us..
