Our nice poolhouse with hot tubs and a swimming pool
Our days were filled mainly with skiing until the afternoon and after that we either went to the gym or to a woodward session in Copper. Woodward has been so much fun, I could learn my first doubles from the trampoline into the foam pit. Unfortunately I've just been skiing in Keystone because the public park in Breckenridge hasn't been finished yet. But that was not so bad because the park in Keystone has been amazing, a bunch of jumps and so many rails, such a good playground ;-)

On the 24th of December we had a really great dinner all together, the boys cooked two turkeys,-so delicious ;-)
We've also been to Denver for a NBA Basketball Game, the Denver Nuggets against the LA Lakers. Such a great experience and a crazy atmosphere in this stadium.
After a bunch of good days skiing in Keystone, there were only a few days left up to NewYear's Eve. Skiing went well for me, I could learn some new tricks as well some unnatural spins.
New Year's Eve has been really really funny. We kinda started to celebrate at 4pm, which was the time for the New Year back in Germany. We cooked pretty good food and just had an amusing time in our apartment with some beer pong action.(By the way, Lena & me kicked out all the boys and finished 2nd at the beer pong competition). At midnight we went out in a little pub in Frisco, where it didn't end that good for one of us ;-)
Happy New Year!
Starting into the new year, we had a couple of good days skiing in Keystone, actually the last ones before the training for the Worldcup began.
The first day Training in Copper for the Worldcup went down really good. Even though we just had one hour for training, which meant around 4 runs, I felt good on the course and on the jumps.
The next day we had a trainings session once again. The weather has been alright but it's been a little windy and the speed was a tiny bit scary. Nevertheless I wanted to do my tricks I planned to do. I dropped in for my last trainings run into the first jump for a switch 540, under rotated a little bit, landed backseat and heard a "pop" in my knee. I started screaming as loud as I could, not because of the pain but because I immediately knew I've blown my knee and the first thing in my head was "fuck,my season is over". It's been crazy how many thoughts went through my head in this short time. I just prayed and hoped that it's not my ACL, which is torn but when I tried to charge my knee I directly realized that my knee is not able to hold my weight anymore. We went to the hospital and they also confirmed that it's probably the ACL.
I got an earlier flight back home in business class by my insurance, which has been really enjoyable. We had good food and I was able to sleep very well. After 20 hours of traveling I finally arrived back home.
I've also been to the MRI and the doctor yet. I torn my ACL, MCL and my meniscus. The doctor decided to wait a little bit in order to remove the swelling. Right now my knee feels alright, I don't have pain and I can walk without crutches. I'm just waiting to get surgery in one week so that I can start with my rehabilitation as soon as it's possible.
