I\u2019m currently in Calgary, Canada, where the first World Cup of the year will be going down tomorrow! (: Since my final post of 2018, I\u2019ve been training on a few different venues in Colorado to make some final adjustments before the North American leg of the World Cup Tour that takes places during the remainder of January. The next 3 stops on the World Cup Tour (in Calgary, Lake Placid, and Mont Tremblant) serve as the final qualifying events for <a href=\"https:\/\/2019worldchamps.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Championships<\/a> in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deervalley.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deer Valley<\/a>, Utah (the home mountain of the <a href=\"https:\/\/usskiandsnowboard.org\/teams\/freestyle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US Moguls Team<\/a>, my home crowd, <i>and<\/i> my absolute favorite stop on tour!!) !<\/p>\n<h1>Holiday Training &#8211; Winter Park, CO<\/h1>\n<p>First up for this training block was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winterparkresort.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Winter Park<\/a>, where a few of my teammates and I trained on Ambush alongside the Australian National Team and a development Australian team \u2014 the Australian Mogul Skiing Academy. We were greeted with soft snow, sunny weather, and an epic full course, creating the perfect training environment for a few days.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_628\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-628\" class=\"wp-image-628 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ogmogulskier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Winter-Park-Course-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-628\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The mogul course at Winter Park (Photo: The Mogul Skiing Academy).<\/p><\/div>\n<p>During these 8 days of training before the next 3 World Cup stops, my biggest goal was to train lots of competition-style top-to-bottom runs in order to foster overall consistency, qualitative execution, and iron out any and all mistakes. I\u2019m pretty happy with how I accomplished this goal both in Winter Park, and our second and final stop for a few more days of training \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tellurideskiresort.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Telluride<\/a>, Colorado!

Strategy with respect to how you attack the course is incredibly important and has the potential to propel your competition run to the top of the field, especially on a technically challenging venue.<\/p>\n<p>While in Telluride, I was also faced with a few other variables that gave me great practice for my upcoming competitions. One such variable was the course conditions \u2014 on our final day of camp, we were met with nearly a foot of fresh snow! Also while in Telluride, we were granted with the opportunity to do an exhibition-like mogul show that some of the general public stopped by to watch. This was a fantastic competition-simulation scenario for me and allowed me to put some of the skills I\u2019d been working on to the test!<\/p>\n<h1>Ready to GO (:<\/h1>\n<p>All in all, I feel more ready than ever to attack the upcoming events throughout the rest of January, starting tomorrow!! In other news, our Men&#8217;s Team completed qualifications today and 4 boys made it through to tomorrow&#8217;s 16-person final round! (That&#8217;s the most we&#8217;ve had qualify for finals so far this year, which is super exciting!!)<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll aim to send out regular updates as I compete over the next month, so keep an eye out both here on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviagiaccio.com\">www.oliviagiaccio.com<\/a> and on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OGMogulSkier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook Athlete Page<\/a> for more!
