Day 2 in Nakiska

As usual, today we woke up not knowing if the temperatures outside would be too cold to ski but fortunately the sun was shining and the temperature did warm up for us! We skied a 45 gate slalom and did some timing. Overall I felt like I improved a lot today! Right now I am really focusing on getting on the right line for slalom and running a more direct line to the gate. Today I feel like I really started to make a step forward in finding the fastest line possible. On my last run of the day I lost my right ski and hit my quad on the bottom of a gate! OUCHHH. Got a pretty bad charliehorse but with ice and stretching I should be fine! Should have a pretty awesome bruise! Every time I fall I immediately think about my knee  but with every fall I also become more confident in my knee. I'm reminded that my acl should now be stronger than ever! Anyways, today was a little chilly but the snow was perfect to train some good quality slalom. Tomorrow we train slalom in the morning and super g in the afternoon and I'm really excited to finally get going fast again!!

Here's a picture I took form my phone of the sun shining on the mountains! GORGEOUS!
