Raceday St.Johann

karinhuttary — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:53:39 +0000

The race will start at 17.15h today in Oberndorf (Penzingbahn).
After the qualifikation yesterday I was not so happy. I made too many mistakes on this difficult course.
So a great challange will wait for me today with not the best start gate.
Starting fast is the only solution and will be my mission today!!!

Ski Test & Powder Skiing

karinhuttary — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:15:42 +0000

Last weeks have been busy. It feels like the season has already started but we are still waiting for the World Cup season to start in Innichen/ San Candido (ITA) on the 21.of december.

Last week I could spend with my beloved Salomon Team (int.) in Sölden to test our new skis. We had great conditions and very good and interesting results.

This week I’m in Sölden again with the Austrian National Team for a trainingcamp but we seem to be unlucky with the weather or myabe I should say really lucky because it is snowing a lot It is the snow everyone is waiting for! Anyway most of the lifts were closed today but we could do some nice powder runs. I tried my NEW Czar which was really great.
Due to the snow we are moving to Schladming tomorrow and hope to be able to train some jumps there.

Skiing in Sölden

karinhuttary — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:14:35 +0000

After the Ski World Cup has had it’s kick off last weekend our Ski Cross team uses the great condition here for some training. After a fall with not so much snow on the glaciers skiing is great now. I have the feeling we have our first really goog trainingdays this season and that is what we really need to be well prepared for a hard season. Great snow & sunshine that’s how we like it

Training in Mölltal

karinhuttary — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 08:33:57 +0000

Last week we had a great trainingcamp in Mölltal/ Austria. The conditions were really tough because of the lack of snow. We could really see the snow melting every day.
The plan is to go there for another 3 days next week. Hope they can make some artificial snow there in the meantime
