Some guys, Erik Read in the lead, had already been able to start again from last week, in the snow of Saas-Fee thanks to the agreement signed with Swiss-Ski. Now, even the women's national team of Canada can restart the engines and, as expected, in addition to the Swiss glaciers there has been the possibility to choose the Stelvio for some trainings: the first of the new season for Erin Mielzynski and Marie-Michèle Gagnon, almost five months after the last approach with the snow. A great thrill for both, with the slalomist ready to finally try the new Atomic materials (after the farewell to Rossignol), while the multipurpose of Quebec, who is also expected at the first approach with the new Head, after testing and quarantine in Canada (as she returned from the States, where she lived in the last few months with her boyfriend Travis Ganong) she expressed herself with great joy for the return to the track on the glacier between South Tyrol and Valtellina. “Our team has finally returned to the snow after months and we are fortunate that Alpine Canada has organized a very safe environment for us - wrote Gagnon on social networks - We were impatient and it is really nice to work together again. I am happy to be able to do km with the new skis and to be able to do what I love. Thanks to everyone who made it possible. "
