It would have been the first time that I was really happy with my run. I`ve chosen a line were the snow was really good (except for 2 turns) and it was fun to ski too.
I was a bit surprised that I felt quite strong and really motivated at the start gate, because 2 days before I was sweating under the influence of fever in my bed. Anyway the venue was not to long, quite steep and filled with alot of opportunities. St. Moritz didn`t get any snow the last 2 weeks, but the temperature stayed under -10°C, nearly no wind and the sun is still not too strong, so we had some good old powder. The only hard parts in my line were below the first cliff, that`s why I decided not to jump the whole thing and one turn before the inrun to the last cliff was frozen too. The rest of the venue was fun to ski.
Till the the last cliff I was able to stomp my drops clean and I skiied fast and fluid. So I was totally focused on my last drop, which was a bit like a downhill jump. I needed to jump off with a good portion of speed to come over the rocks below it. But there was still my „double eject“ of La Clusaz in my head,, so I`ve chosen this kind of jump, because the impact of the landing should not be too hard and it was still steep enough. So I gained enough speed, jumped off, everything went perfect…

So I came in this old sticky layer of snow, got stucked for even less than a second and my skis were off again. Thumbling without skis, I LOVE IT. So I really needed to change something with my setup, cause it sucks so much if your material works against you. Thats why I changed my binding and mounted it on another position. We`ll see if it works, I HOPE SO. Because the next comp is on saturday in Hochfügen and I don`t wanna crash again, especially not here at home.
See you soon
