I am so proud to have been picked to represent Britain in the Winter Olympics in the slalom and giant slalom disciplines. Since I was picked for the junior British training squad at 14, I have dreamed about this moment.

Off to Austria. Will keep you posted on my progress over the next few weeks.

On Saturday 10th October I was presenting prizes at the ESSKIA Finals in Rossendale. It was great to see all the teams battling it out. It bought back many memories.

Good luck to all those who qualified for the British Championships.

Saturday evening, back to home turf for a fundraiser – great night. Thanks to everyone who came, skied and helped.

I had a great experience in New Zealand and Chile. Superb snow conditions and some excellent training.

I entered a couple of races to see how my race fitness levels were and managed to pick up a podium position.

Back to England to find people had been fundraising – wow! A massive thank you to all of you that have contributed, raced, donated, bought tickets or just wished me luck.

I also presented prizes at the British Artificial Championships in Pontypool.

In May 2009 I took part in the charity Etape Caledonia, an 81 mile bike ride around the Scottish Highlands – which was quite hilly! (understatement)

With me were a few of my team members from the British Ski Squad including Chemmy Alcott. I built up to this in my training with a lot of cycling and completed the course in just under 4 hours.

We’re fundraising for MacMillan Cancer Support. It is still possible to help with the fundraising on this by clicking the just giving logo above or visit www.justgiving.com/snowsportgb.

A big thank you to all of our supporters!
