You see where Shiffrin won her first DH?C.H.U.D.Comment

I saw that. I didn’t know she owned skis that long.
Being a slalom parent, I have followed her for awhile....I like her, seems pretty down to earth. This speed thing that happened this weekend is pretty interesting. USSA is really trying to develop technical stuff at a young age and let the speed come later.
I wish her well. Very well could eclipse Lindsey.Last edited by HowardRoark; 12-04-2017, 10:29 PM.After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.Comment

BTW, Tailgate Alaska is a big pilgrimage for snowboarders at Thompson Pass up there every March (evidently). I met the guy who founded it and runs it last Christmas Eve in Sun Valley. Really nice guy. A godfather of the sport I found out....although you’d never know it having a few drinks with him.After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky.

I read she will be skipping the Super G because of the compressed schedule. She will be doing the downhill though.Originally posted by HowardRoark View PostI can't run no more

i'm not a fan of vonnOriginally posted by Joemailman View Post
but that sucks having to go first with no practice runs
she had a great run till right at the end, afer she fucked it up the rest of the field knew to watch out for that corner
how do they not have practice runs?
no wonder why people die in the sportComment

They get to “inspect” in ski racing. Basically going down the course very slowly (slipping), but not through the gates. Usually a couple times if they want toAfter lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky.

I also heard that given how compressed the schedule has become due to the weather delays, they simply don't have the time to allow the practice runs.All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!Comment
