Happy

 

Anna, me and Frida exited to race in Aspen

Im happy with the race in Aspen, two good runs but with some small misstakes in so there is more to give, that feels good. I bit of a relieve that I overcame this slope in Aspen cause it hasn´t really been my best place before, the last three years I was 31 st… I finished 10 so the second topp ten out of two attempts

Best Maria was second in Aspens slalom yetserday, so happy for her and a great start of the slalom season. Frida did a good job as well by being 10th and Anna 16th!

Training at 24hour fitness yesterday in Denver, stairs seems to be a big thing here, don´t think we have does at home. You walk normally and sideways if you wish. A guy came and asked if me and Kajsa were competing in weight lifting, haha that´s a good grade!

Our travell over to Canada was really shitty, first the plane was late for 2 hours cause we didn´t ahve ant crew for the plane and then they cancelled it cause it was way to windy in Calgary to land there… We were rebooking for 1.5h and finally the put in a extra flight for today. 10hours spend on Denver airport is not the most fun. We sleept some hours in Denver and then headed out for the airport again. The plane was late again but finally we got here to Lake Louise were it´s actually winter and so much snow I never seen on myu 7 or 8 years here.

We had time for some chicken wings

Nice views this morning

Winter here i LL

Our luggage.. and now it´s time for sleep again /Jessi

Race time Aspen!

 

It´s a nice car drive from Vail to Aspen, cool red mountains

We were eating breakfast as every year on Poppycooks the first morning when we arrived in Aspen. I took AMerican oatmeal pancakes with fruits on

Dessan and Maria on the way home from dinner

Prada – perfect window shopping

Me and Maria taking a coffe after our jeans shopping

A nice day yesterday, with some activation training after having our annual breakfast. Then lunch at Boogies and then staying at Boogies for 1.5 hour more with Maria trying jeans on, I don´t lie if I say I tried 25 different pairs, they are really helpfull in that store and they have the best sortiment of jeans.
We walked out of there sweaty and happy with 2 pair of jeans each!

Today we had freeskiing on the hill, good snow underneath the new snow that came this night so I think it will be good tomorrow.
I´m exited to race again tomorrow and my bib is 22!! We strarting at 10.15 so in Europe time 18.15, cheer for us!
Now I really need to sleep..

United States of America

In Vail, colorado, USA. The trip over was good, perfect flying Stockholm- Frankfurt-Denver. We stay just across from the lift at Manor Lodge Vail in appartements and share with Kajsa, she´s in the King size bed and I took the Murphy bed also called pull down bed cause you pull it out of the wall. So I´m in the living room, nice to have your own space while your sleeping aspecially when you having a bit of jet leg and wakes up a couple times a night.

All the bags arrived skies were send before with a cargo so no hassle at all just grab the bags and go..

We had dinner at Trapness familys home 2 days ago. Friends from our trainer Pierre, nice to see such a lovely huge home, thanks for a great dinner!

The pitch were we train, GS yesterday was good, nice to be back on this grippy snow and do some gates.

Finally a gingerbread latte on Starbucks, yummi!

Kajsa and Pavel were also enjoying coffe

Offcourse we had time for some shopping as well, we made a pit stop in Denver on the way up to Vail and I bought new running shoes, and some christmas gifts
We had a afternoon down in Silverthorn were it is outlets, found some good stuff there.

Now it´s time for breakfast and then getting out to the slope, after lunch we move on to Aspen and take a day off tomorrow.

Bye for now //Jessica

Stockholm review

I just want to show some pics from my last days at home, I was doing the last things from my to do list before I should leave and and christmas feeling is all over town now, except from the snow then.

Bibloteksgatan – this is one of my favourite street and the surroundings

Some friends had their namegiving cermony for their daughter Elsa. So nice meeting them all an Elsa is adorable!

Jonas, me and Elsa

My new POC biking helmet, that I´ve been using a lot the last days at home, feels safe biking aroung in the heavy traffic when you have it, cause I don´t take it easy..

Doing some plyometric training in Bosön, so fun jumping over hurdles and other kind of jumpes when your in the right mood!
Below, Norrtullsgatan and the big christmas tree hanging in the roof on NK

And here we go again!

And here we go again!
Early morning 3.30 wake up call, but not so tired yet, but it will come for sure after sleeping 3 hours
On the tour for a month starting now, boarding for Frankfurt now and then straight to Denver. And training in Vail the next coming days.So now it starts for real with races every weekend, really looking forward to that, Aspen first out on Saturday with GS.
Now I have to shut the phone off, talk to you over there next time //Jessi

Baking

I felt like baking lussemuffins, yesterday so I called my mum and asked if she wanted to join and yes she was in. We baked a different kind of lussekatter that´s a bun made off saffron. We eat it around lucia and for christmas. I really like it
So we did a special one, more like a muffin cause then it even more juicy and in the middle you have some almond paste mixed with butter.

Nice to get some extra time with mum aswell!

Alignmate

Thanks Johan Monsén and Alignmate for helping me measuring my boots so precise as it can be!!!
Helps a lot knowing that you are standing right in the boot, with angles and canting.

 

 

My acorn has grown

 

 

When I came home now my acorn had start to grow, it´s a acorn vase that I recieved from my parents in law I wanted more then one so I put the other two into shot glasses.

I took it easy yetserday but I also did some use, packed all old suites, clothes and so together and went thorugh all stuff at my mums place so I know what I can get ride off and not. Now it´s just to sell some things away!
Time for the gym..

See ya

Living in Elsas World

It´s been a great training week in Stubai, but yesterday morning I had headache and my throat was sore so after training I felt done with skiing for this time and I was tired so I took a ride with Sara and Maria to Munich and flew home this morning. Better to be home and rest and be healthy so I´m fit for the states.

Nice GS turnes in the pitch

So crowded yesterday in Stubai, but it´s good conditions and full beam so I understand why they are going there.

Reading Sofi Fahrmans book “Elsas Värld” on the way down from the slope, dreaming away into Elsas world in Stockholm that contains blogging, fashion, love and fighting her way up as a fashion editor, just love it!

 

first time ever the plane reschedule it´s time to 10 min earlier then planed that can only happen on budget airlines as Norwegian and maybe Ryanair.. wonderful weather up in the sky today anyway.

Tweet, Twitter, retweet

Hmm Twitter, that´s a totally new world for me. Bacame a member yesterday and for now I´m just there undercover to follow and comment others, but in the future maybe be more ego and write for my own. So much for so little or what is acctually the thing with this? Will be fun somehow with a new (I know I´m a little behind..)socialmedia to discover

Yesterday and today was 2 rally good days for me, Gliding turns as some call it yesterday, easy SG, good for the feeling and to tests skies aswell.
Today we skied in the steap part and I found IT today, good feeling especially in the pitch so now I´m on the right way in SG!! Super day, with sun and winter conditions, hardpacked snow that was grippy.
GS for some runs afterwards and that was fun and I found more movement the last run. Was a little tricky to be gentle on the skies, it is easy to push to hard..

Slope nr 21 or Hellis baby
