31st December 2009
With great THANKS to Andreas Kristan our stay in Petzen for ski training and racing was very worthwhile!
We travelled over to another resort called Koralpe, near Wolfsberg for the 2009Koralpencup Giant Slalom race. After travelling up the extremely steep gradient mountain road in our car, sometimes in 1st gear!!! we eventually reached the carpark! The race piste was equally as steep but even more challenging with the hard packed ice!
There were at least 160 competitors taking part which ranged from mini-mini minis!! (in catsuits!! SHOCK HORROR) LOL!! to Masters.
There was just one run to count in this race and the very technical course unfortunately caught a lot of racers out either on the bend in the middle or towards the finish.
