Bit of a change from the slopes this week, but it has been an incredible experience at work - it's not every day you get to take part in a Coronation parade!

Return to snow camp ✅
All bones intact ✅
Ready to go home ❌
Going to miss these slopes after an incredible couple of months in @WinterPark completing my post-injury return to snow programme. Ironically breaking myself seems to have increased my ski confidence #comebackstronger

[Sitskishona @sitskishona]

Just another sunny training day @WinterPark

Gradually ticking off the boxes on my way towards getting back on snow - first time back in the pool today 🏊🏻‍♀️

After a pretty positive consultant review yesterday, today poor, neglected running leg got its first outing since before injury. No PBs, but a respectable time for my first run in almost 2 months. The comeback is in progress!

...so I'll be cheering them on from back home whilst smashing out the rehab to be back fully fighting fit & even stronger than before ASAP.

Massive congrats and good luck to my @GBSnowsport teammates who have been selected for the Para-Alpine World Champs this week. Unfortunately, I won't be joining them this year as racing & broken collarbones don't really mix...

[Sitskishona @sitskishona]

Despite spending the past couple of months ski training, I don't carry my phone when I ski so have limited opportunity to take and post ski-specific pics! However, my training has mainly been based at @SkiNakiska, the alpine skiing venue for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

On today's International Day of Persons with Disabilities, I've been reflecting on what my 'disability' has actually enabled me to do. 10 years ago, I could never have imagined where this path would take me but my injury has led to so many incredible opportunities. #IDPWD

Getting my slalom groove on...

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Can't get enough of these snowy, blue sky views. The stream is now almost totally frozen over, probably something to do with the -24⁰C temperatures 🥶 At what point do shorts become inappropriate attire? (Asking for a friend) 😂

Snowy walk after training to explore the new locale......because it would be a shame to waste such a beautiful afternoon indoors!

I'm a day late with this, but Happy Halloween 🧟‍♀️ 🎃 🤪

'The mountains are calling and I must go...'

My week of travel chaos continued with delayed flights and lost luggage but arrived in 🇨🇦 and thankfully have now been reunited with my sitski and bags. Excited to call this home for the next couple of months.

Such a massive privilege and honour to be able to play a small part in the State Funeral for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

In the words of Paddington Bear, "Thank you Ma'am, for everything."

When I knew I was falling, the only thought in my head was I’m not giving up. I didn’t come here to give up at the fourth gate! 🇬🇧🎿

Shona Brownlee is the definition of resilience. 😤

Despite a fall on her first run, she ended up taking 9️⃣th place and making us all proud in the process. 👏
