Axam Lizum and Firsttracks Chandolin

Just got back from Chandolin so here is a little comp update.

First up Open Faces in Axam Lizum. Since I didn't sign up in time for the 3* i had to do the open qualification. Went great qualified as number 2. Stoked about that so I won a wildcard for the 3* the day after. 
3* face
The 3* didn't go that good.. It was really difficult to chose a line on this face. The snow was pretty hard and not a lot of features in there. But I got myself a 16 place. Its ok I guess but I'm not that happy about it...

After a few days in Engelberg it was time to go to the next comp. Ever since my crash in Canada my knee hasn't been the same.. So this was a bit of a concern for Firsttracks Chandolin.

When we arrived in St luc it was snowing like hell, so we knew that it would be good conditions the day after. Firsttracks is a two day comp, one run each day.
St luc
First up Saturday. Sunny and 30cm of fresh at the comp face. I dropped in and had a crash on my first hit.. Wasn't happy about that.. So I skied down and just sat in the sun the rest of the day.

Sunday wasn't stoked on my riding yesterday so i wasn't sure if should compete or not, mostly cuz of my knee. 15cm of fresh changed that, at least I would get a nice pow run! Had a really mellow line with great pow and had a lot of fun. Didn't score that well, ended up 29th. Bu the most important is that i had fun and made it all the way down on my feet, great confidence boost!
Sunday
Simon ready to start
Now three weeks until the next comp in Nendaz. Its gonna be so nice to have some time of comps and just focus on my own riding and having fun! I think my knee will appreciate some rest as well.

Engadinsnow

First comp in a looong time! I was super nervous days before the comp, and it didn't get better when I saw the Forcla venu. Its big and looks so scary from a  distance. But after some time looking at it I found my line and could relax a little bit.
At the start I was surprisingly calm.. Think I knew I could do it. Great feeling!
When I passed the finish gate I was so relieved that I made it through and skied my line just as I wanted to.
Finished 6th, super stoked on that!
