It's already been a while since the session in Sölden and winter has been a little slow so far. Nevertheless, given the tricky situation we had in many areas in January, I still had a few opportunities to put what I had learned into practice. Above all, the aspect of "perception", which is one of the three pillars of the risk'n'fun concept, is now much more pronounced for me than before. And now the "Next Level" on the Kitzsteinhorn. The focus here is on independent tour planning - I'm particularly looking forward to that. I hope that after a few days I'll finally be able to read maps properly!

On Sunday in the week before the camp in Sölden, I receive an email from Dani from risk'n'fun asking if I am spontaneous? The winner of today's competition had had to cancel at short notice and I was in second place. Oops - that's really spontaneous, but of course I'm in. I frantically start to gather my ski equipment. The winter season hasn't really started yet and I'm still sitting on my bike more than I know where my gloves, ski helmet and goggles are. And do the skis still need waxing?
