"I've been training in Hintertux now for 6 weeks and I've got 2 more left, it's been absolutely brilliant training for an extended amount of time compared to the 4 days training I got last season! My Olympic training program now consists of a world cup coach, assistant coach, physiotherapist and technician this is the first time in my career I've had access to so many services all of which are required at the top level of competition."

It's not all been plain sailing though, Zoe suffered a nasty head injury on Thursday cracking her helmet in training after which for 3 hrs Zoe had a short term memory of about 1 1/2 minutes.
Zoe continued,
"It's just one of those things, it happens, my headache has nearly gone and I hope to get back on snow late next week, at least I provided my team some amusement as I kept asking the same questions over and over again for 3 hours!"

From here Zoe will be flying out to Colorado, USA on the 10th December for her first competition of the 2011/12 season which she is looking forward to greatly.
