5th and 10th in Europa Cups!

Since Maribor was cancelled we headed to Tarvisio, Italy to do two Europa Cup slaloms...
There were a bunch of german, swedish and italian world cup girls so it was a pretty competitive race!! I thought I skied pretty well and ended up 5th on the first day and 10th on the second day!!  I won a huge sausage made of unknown meats and a hoodie. amazing.  It's always fun in Europe to be on (or close to) the podium because most of the races give out cool prizes!
It was perfect ICY hard conditions so I was pumped to get to race on something sweet rather than in the slush of Maribor.
Here's our HUGE slalom teaM!!!! yay slalom!
 THanks JS for taking all the picssss!
 Britt was 10th the first day! Here we are on the top 10 podium!!  (i'm almost there.....)
 yeah! I look unimpressed but I just wasn't posing up to my potential!! haha.
The podium was Frida Handstotter, Katharina Duerr and Fanny Chmelar! (and then a little lower down was me... )
 rocking the super fitted Europa cup bibs!!
 Pre-start! buckling the boots!
 amazing warm up techniques.
 And amazing sunsets!!! From the van not so amazing, but I tried!
 Happy full moon!!!  
We've made our way to Switzerland for one last race before heading HOME!!!!!
It's been snowing since we got here and the GS already got cancelled, so keep your fingers crossed for us!!!  PLUS there is no internet!!! It seems crazy to not have internet sometimes!!! Eve and I walked around town looking for a place to connect and finally found one after 20 minutes of fruitless searching!
HALLELUJAH !!!!!!!!!!! from the internet addicts.
