Aksel Lund Svindal announced his return to competitions in his blog.

"That was two weeks of vacation and now its back on the mountain. Practice makes perfect. Or at least better. 5 am start means the snow is still nice and hard from the cold night. At around 10 its starting to get real soft and our day on the mountain is over. Back to bed for some well earned extra sleep. Today was close to perfect here in Røldal and Im hoping we get more days like that. Getting up at 4 is a lot easier if its clear sky, compared to getting up when you hear the rain hitting your bedroom window. I said it was 2 weeks of vacation. Before this camp. In a ay thats true even though it was no real vacation. I spent most of my time between the last ski camp and this one at the gym. Lifting weights. But thats the whole idea of vacation. Doing something different. And after 5-6 months with intense skiing and very little time for lifting, it is actually fun to get back to the gym and do something different. It sure doesnt always feel that way. So better take advantage and get a lot of training done now that I´m feeling excited about it. But this week is all about skiing. Getting a lot of good turns done!"
