Priska Loving Her Slalom Jacket

Slytech believer and Swiss ski racer from Alpnach, Priska Nufer is just 18 years old, yet she's showing results in Europa Cup that will fling her into the big leagues soon enough.

She's the 2009 Swiss Junior Champion in Giant Slalom and got 5 top 10 finishes this past season in Europa Cup. Even though she's got that GS title to her name and shows promise in all disciplines, her best of late has become the Super G, in which she finished 2nd this past Thursday, March 11, 2010 in Tarvisio, Italy.

She's chosen the Slytech 2nd Skin Slalom Jacket to protect not only her forearms, elbow, upper arm and shoulder, but also her back. Usually you will see racers rock the forearm guards or pads for Giant Slalom, and while it seems as though the girls have taken Super G gates with plenty of arch these days on World Cup, there will always be a few like Priska who take gates tight, slapping them on the way down as they search for the tightest line possible.

You never know how the prospects of a World Cup start look for Priska. The Swiss Ladies have been riddled with injuries late this 09/10 season and self-admittedly had a very disappointing Olympics at Whistler.

Priska Nufer throwing down some World Cup starts next year along side her Slytech sista Lara Gut??? Not out of the realm of possibility!

Congratulations, Priska, on your successful season! Here's to many more...
