Countdown

Posted on February 11, 2015 by Jessica Lindell Vikarby

Ja nu har nedräkningen börjat på riktigt, 2 dagar kvar till race, ser fram emot det som komma skall!
Idag har jag vilat men innan det så hade jag 3 bra skiddagar med klarblå himmel & grymt Colorado underlag, hårt, kompakt och greppigt 👌 jag kunde även trycka på max med ryggen vilket var väldigt glädjande för mig, sådana dagar älskar jag verkligen den här resan jag får vara med om!

LA
Jag & Maria hade några härliga dagar i Los Angeles mellan pre camp & när vi kom hit till Vail. Skönt med miljöombyte och mycket hann vi med att uppleva i den avslappnande miljön som råder där!

Countdown has begun, 2 days left until race time. Looking forward to get out there again! Last 3 days has been good, perfect conditions with Colorado snow, hard, compact and grippy and then clear blue sky on top of that! I was able to push max with my back and that in combo with the conditions really makes we love this journey that I’m on!

LA
Me and Maria had a 3 day break tighter with some coaches and service in Los Angeles, great days with new environment and lots of fun stuff to enjoy and watch!

Super G race

Posted on February 6, 2013 by Jessica Lindell Vikarby

This picture pretty much summaries why we had to wait 3h on start yesterday. I had startnr 2 which I was happy to have cause of the soft snow conditions but I could ´nt go inside cause they postponed with 15min every time and then it was to tight to go in.
But it was warm so no problem, we had some snacks, drinks and music so it was ok. The slope was really soft so it was a bit tricky to ski and for the later startnr it was on the limit to not skiable. Congrats to Tina Maze for her gold, she really deserves it and Lara who steps up when it´s championships and Julia Mancuso that always seems to know how to get a medal at every championships she’s starting in, cool Jules!

Nice welcome comite in the finish by Camilla and Robban

I didn´t win any medal, but I tried my best and it was fun skiing. I did season best in SG and skiing was partly good so that´s what I will take with me.

Crowded and good atmosphere in the finish today on the mens Super G, great clean skiing by Ted Ligety that won, impressive!

Now I´m in Innerkrems were we will have our tech pre camp, looking forward to get some good GS turns in tomorrow 🙂

Let the Schaldming WSC begin!

Me and Sara this morning in Haus

It´s been snowing almost all the time since I arrived in Schaldming, this morning it was a really heavy snowfall and it was about 20-30 centimeters in the training slope so no ski training today.
Feels good to be here and we´re staying in a really nice hotel, it´s brand new with Danish owners so it´s a lot of Scandinavian people working here and the manager, she´s swedish that´s always sweet.

Christian Thoma & Lojze taking a coffee when training got cancelled

But the morning actually started like this… everyone left except me and Lojze so we had to run arround to get another car which we finally found. Got 15 min late but we didn´t miss anything in the end anyway

The slopes the day we arrived

My fan club is here

So right now I´m writing this in my room while lighting a candle and then I will read a bit until lunch then in the afternoon it´s activationtraining, photo shoot, and press conference so I´m enjoying this easy time in bed

Pre camp in Zauchensee; first morning it was lovely like this and good GS training but then the snow came

So I put the powder skies on and went for some runs 🙂
It´s a great place to be on for training and super good hotel but the weather you can not change

I was home for 3 days after Maribor. Really happy about my 5th place and my skiing there, feels good to have that one in the back coming to Schaadming.
I love this “semla” from Tösse, they have the best ones in Stockholm. I regain power when I eat this lovely thing!
