Last stretch on the way~~ we’ve been cooped up in the hotel so far due snowfall and fog, but hoping we can get some races off here in Lenzerheide. #limbo

We, athletes often get asked questions about our health routine. How many hours do you sleep? 9 hours How many hours do you train a day? 3-5 hours What do you like to do to decompress? Sauna and reading a good book. What is your eating regimen? I love Mediterranean diet, lots of fruits and veggies! In the end, it all comes down to the 4 pillars of Immune health; exercise, de-stress, eating healthy and quality sleep. The thing is, during cold and flu season you are more likely to come down with a cold or flu if you don’t try to treat each pillar with the same importance. For example, you can sleep 9 hours every night and eat super healthy, but if you aren’t finding time to de-stress, your immune system will still be taxed. Of course, you can’t always control all the pillars to perfection. As a ski racer, I have to stay in hotels often and eat the food from the restaurant. The food can be amazing and balanced, but sometimes it just isn’t what I need. For that reason, I like to add COLD-FX Extra Strength to my routine throughout cold and flu season. COLD-FX Extra Strength helps reduce the Frequency, Severity and Duration of cold and flu symptoms by Boosting the Immune System. If you have more questions about the 4 pillars of health and how I like to tackle it as an athlete, please send me a DM! To be sure this product is right for you, always read and follow the label. #ad @coldfx @alpinecanada

The end of the season is approaching, but the work is still going! Gym training and on-snow training full blast for a strong finish in Lenzerheide 🇨🇭 @alpinestrength 📷 @anna_goody

👋🏼 San Pellegrino 💛 Starting bib 1 was not my favourite for SG today, but good practice regardless. My heart goes to @kajsalie @rosina_schnee who both had bad crashes today. Next stop—-> World Cup Finals 🇨🇭 📷 @physioski.qc

That moment right before kicking out of the start gate. The focus is so high. One more go at it tomorrow in the SG @skiworldcupvaldifassa It’s my first time starting #1 in SG, I’m pretty excited to lay down the first tracks on the course🤗🤪 Also, pretty happy to be consistently clocking in top 10s again ! 😬✌🏻☺️

Momentum is building 🤗 Today was my career best finish in downhill with a 7th place. Still hungry for more, and thankfully we get another chance tomorrow 💙☺️ Big shout out to my tech @dolinar.miha for making some of the fastest skis day in and day out! Also @head_rebels for the awesome equipment. Let’s go team 🇨🇦! @plankensteinerhansjorg @mannygamper @physioski.qc 📷 @agencezoom

The long weekend of racing in @skiareasanpellegrino starts tomorrow! ☀️ Le vent dans les voiles, où comme me dit ma famille, à fond dans caisse! 📷 @agencezoom

Time to do a little strength work 💪🏻 📷 @anna_goody

Today’s Combi closes the World Championship chapter for me. I wish we had a less challenging surface for the slalom part to give you all a better show, but most people dig crashes and slip outs right?😬 @cortina2021 it has been a pleasure to ski your beautiful slopes and enjoy all your vistas. Next focus: Val Di Fassa 🇮🇹 📷 @agencezoom

Downhill race tomorrow! It’s such a joy to ski this perfect course in the sun in Cortina. Bib #16 @travisganong told me today that if he was to draw a fantasy ski area and mountain range, it would be this one. I agree 👌🏼 @cortina2021 you’re a skiers fantasy ❤️ 📷 @plankensteinerhansjorg

Kicking it off with Combi tomorrow at the Worlds! Wish me some fast moving legs for the first part😊😜 Bib 16 for me and bib 18 for @valeriegrenier ! Go 🇨🇦 📷 @physioski.qc
