“ Closing in on almost 4 weeks on the road, it was a monumental challenge to ski in a tough course in Deer Valley. Coming in, we knew that the course would be physically and mentally demanding (from the previous world cup just days ahead of the Noram). Through the ups and downs, I saw the grit of this team and I think we can go home satisfied as an even tighter unit. I’m looking forward to the second half of the Noram tour.”
