Hey guys,
Here in Edwards at my new home. All settled in and had my first Thanksgivings the other day.
It was pretty awesome. I have ridden 2 days so far. Just getting the hang back into snowboarding. Another week at Copper then Grand Prix is on the week after, so hopefully I can be back to normal soon enough. For now I'm still getting used to the altitude again. 45 days to go till YOG!
love Alex

So the other week I got a letter in the mail letting me know I've been selected in the Youth Olympic team, - the only snowboarder from Australia to go. I'm so excited. A couple of weeks ago I went to the press release for the team's official launch. It was sooo cool and I got so many interviews my mouth started to hurt from smiling too much. I ended up on Channel Nine Wide World of Sports on a Sunday, which was pretty amazing because all my friends and family saw it. I'm so excited about it. I have even got a count down on my phone going :) It's going to be amazing and I'm sure to take lots and lots of photos! Here are some photos from the AOC press release.

Perisher Playstation Slopestyle Series - Won the Junior Girls Series
Thank you to Perisher and all the sponsors for a great Series. Love my new Burton Board I won and just got new Burton bindings in the mail. How good is that! My "Feelgood" I have been riding is badly delaminating and got huge chunks out of it and I have been taking my bindings off my pipe board for my slope board - so absolutely stoked to get my favourite board and bindings. Got to love that cash as well as all the other cool stuff. Thank you thank you!! Congratulations to Lauren and Maddy tonight.

Italy! Junior World Championships - 2011
Hey guys,
Can't believe it! Made finals for both Slopestyle and Halfpipe Finals at my first ever Junior World Championships, from starting of not even knowing I would make it to Jnr world Champs to making finals is amazing i'm so happy with myself! I Ended up 12th in Halfpipe and 9th in Slopestyle. I was the only Australian to qualify in finals in the Halfpipe. Congratulations to the rest of my team with 3 of us making Finals in Slopestyle. Congratulations to my team members Lauren Stavely and Michaela Davis-Meehan. Go the Aussi girls!
Hey guys,
So Today was day 5 in Valmalenco, Yesterday we had our first day of pipe practice and the 3 days before that we spent watching and cheering on the AUS boardercross team. Today we had another 2 hour session of pipe practice and a 2 hour practice of slopestyle. The slopestyle course looked pretty scary and was super soft due to the extreme Italian sun but after hitting it 4-5 times I got the hang of it. By 6th run, there was only 10 minutes left of training and I decided I was comfortable spinning. I did a front 3 and landed perfect - too bad about the metre slush waiting for me as I landed, A bit of a crash but all fine no damage done. All up it was a really fun day and I'm psyched for tomorrow's pipe comp.
Heres a few photos through the competition and other events
Opening Ceremony was so much fun!!Ciao xx

Hey all,
So I'm finally in Italy with the whole Australian team.
The town Is really cute and old . We had an hour and a half drive and it was such an interesting and pretty drive. I GoProed a few villages and houses on the way just to get a feel for Italy.
It is such a nice place, we arrived in the town of Valmelenco at 8pm , We had dinner and got all our stuff ready for tomorrow. Tomorrrow we are going up to the mountain just to have a mini shred and to check out the pipe and the slope course, Then later on that night there is the opening ceremony. I'm very excited :)
Thats all the news for now,
Peace xoxo

Hey all,
I have been very busy with everything and have great news.
On the 15th of March, I competed in the last stop for Rev tour . It was a great sunny day and the pipe got soft but still awesome. I made it to finals and placed 6th in the Half pipe, I later found out that the place I had made had qualified me for half pipe in the Jnr World Championships. Slopestyle day came around and I had learned a new word called vermonting, which to everyone is pretty much rain. I found out that Vermonting... was sooo terrible. Training started at 8am and it was heavily snowing and bad visibility was little. I started to train , even though I had only the jumps once the day before. I had 2 training runs and on my 1st I badly hurt my knees. Runs started and my first run was good, My knees were badly hurting but I kept going even though I wanted to retreat to the lodge with everyone else and it payed off - I qualified 4th in 1st runs. 2nd run came and it had started Vermonting. I had a good run until last run and I knuckled and hurt my knees really bad. I couldn't walk properly but I could move so I knew I hadn't done anything serious. In the end I qualified 6th for slopestyle. A storm was coming in the next day we were flying out , So as soon as the presentation was finished we hit the road and headed to albany where we spent the night and flew out in the morning.
Tomorrow I fly out to Frankfurt then to Milan for Jnr World Championships in Italy. I'm so excited and I want to thank everyone for the support they have given me.

Blogging time!
Hey all,
So Many things have happened since I last blogged.
On the 1st of feburary , I started training with ISTC. I love training with them, I have a coupe of my Australian friends with me, and I have made many new friends. The training is great but still fun.
I recently competed in Boreal And competed in both slopestyle and pipe. Day 1 was pipe and I had fun the day before training for it . Unfortunatly some of the girls brought a few tricks I couldn't do and I placed 11th and didn't make finals. In Slopestyle the next day , I had only had the afternoon of pipe and a couple of runs the following day to practice for slopestyle. Slopestyle is normally my better event but with the bigger jumps that I hadn't jumped off something as big as a 30fter before so I was pretty nervous. I crashed both my runs but almost landed my spins. I ended up 12th and not making finals but I was proud of myself for spinning such big jumps.It was a fun trip and with alright results I was happy. I have just been training since and I have been selected in the Australian Jnr worlds team. So March 25th I head to Italy. I'm so excited and proud of myself to make it. I will then return from Italy on the 4th of april and come back to breckenridge and compete in Nationals then Finaly return to Australia on either April 9th or 10th. With all this excitement I'm sure it will be great to come home and see everyone :)
So thats all for now, I'll be updating more often from now on
love Alex
