Scandinavian Cup in Norway

Scandinavian Cup was a prelude and training in effect for the two days following of Europa Cups. The moguls sections were quite a flat with the jump landings with a bit more pitch. A fairly nice way to ease back into moguls after more than ten days off snow. Whilst I very keen to get back on snow it's still kind of daunting turning up to a new resort having never been to the country before and compete without any support. Whilst moguls is an individual sport it's the team support and usually friendly competition that makes it much more attractive. Luckily I have many other friendly athletes to help me feel comfortable on the road alone!

To the left we have a couple of Swedes, Veronica and Sofia getting into the swing of it at Hemsedal!


Singles day I finished 3rd and Duals I stepped up the pace to claim 2nd.

I have also been spending a fair bit of time with the Germans being room mates for a couple of nights with Laura, then there is Daan and Carla from the Netherlands who I have spent some time traveling with last year which resulted in some entertaining tales.












Please refer to the photo on the left for the result of last minute accommodation bookings. Being a weekend and school holidays in Norway one had to take what one could find!! -
Summer huts without water!! ha ha.. errrrr...

We had to walk to the shower block to brush our teeth or get water to make tea!! HILARIOUS.. Luckily this only had to be endured for two nights but at least I had good company!



This is really a fantastic opportunity to meet some amazing people from around the world. Many of these athletes are just as incredible in what they do off the slopes as they do on. Some have full time careers to balance, some have made a living out of skiing professionally and others have families waiting for them at home.

Carla, Laura and Daan..

Sitting down for dinner last was entertaining after competing all day and avoiding most Valentine's Day hype I was not so gently reminded by candlelight what day it was!! Ha ha
A romantic evening... for one!! I thought back to where I was last year... again in another strange country with even more strange company... but that's an entirely different story involving a Russian and France!
