The skier shared a bunch of pictures on her Instagram, and captioned, “Another productive spring camp in Kvitfjell 🇳🇴…2023-24 is off to a solid start! Thank you, everyone, for all of your hard work!! That 4am wake up call wasn’t easy, but it was certainly worth it.” Shiffrin visited Reiteralm in early April for ski testing, and now she is all set to explore on her own.
In the first picture, the world record holder looked dressed to commence another new session in the Norwegian mountains. Cut to the next image, the athlete shared some glimpses with her boyfriend, smiling. The next slides followed Shiffrin in her usual avatar, putting on her skiing gear and gliding through the snow.
