Whilst Sean Rose headed off to Canada for further training with fellow team mate Tim Farr, Joe Willoughby continued her successful run in Europe with a trip to the Solleftea races in Sweden.
Flying the flag for GB she produced some cracking results winning the first technical slalom race some 2 seconds ahead of her Swiss rival Anita Fuhrer only for roles to be reversed in the second days slalom races with Fuhrer pipping Willoughby to the post by just 1.4 seconds.
Not to be deterred her performance in the following two days Giant Slalom delivered on her committed training schedule this season with two wins.
| | SL1 (31Jan) | SL2 (1Feb) | GS1 (2Feb) | GS2 (3Feb) |
| Joe Willoughby | 1st | 2nd | 1st | 1st |
These results have consolidated her great performance this season and have catapulted Willoughby up the European Cup point list to lead the table in GS and combined:
Slalom 2nd on 340 points
Giant Slalom 1st on 320 points
Super G 2nd on 140 points
Combined 1st on 800 points

Willoughby, together with the rest of the squad (currently attending the British Services International Ski Championships in Meribel) will join Rose, Miller and Farr in Canada later this month for a GB attack on a selection of NorAm races and a visit to the Vancouver 2010 alpine host resort of Whistler.
