    Who needs a mountain anyway? Ski stars with humble beginnings...

    I was fortunate enough to meet Billy Kidd a couple weeks ago at the Colorado Snowsports Museum in Vail. We were discussing who needs a mountain to start a ski career? Apparently not these athletes (although by Midwest standards Lutsen is a mountain!). Who am I overlooking??? I'm sure there are...

    SG Women World Champion Åre

    Start today, midday. Going to be exciting to see of being on a homehill (it should!) can gain the Swedish any positions. Not having any expectations, but a top ten would be an achievment at this point. A few questions re MS and LV will be answered.

It is 60 minute documentary about downhill racing and downhillers in general, and Åre and the prep. for the finals...

    Vonn injury at Copper

    LV was taken off the SG course by sled today and, I am told, helicoptered off the mountain. I don't have any more details. My daughters got an autograph not 30 minutes before. Hope it's nothing too serious and the curse of Copper doesn't prevent a start at Lake Louise. Has anyone heard...

    Skis that our heroes ski

    Other threads about how we choose our skis, along with some brand recognition chatter has me wondering if the old adage "Win on Sunday, buy on Monday" still holds true in some walks of life. Examples Do we take a second look at Head skis because Lindsey Vonn or Ted Ligety, or Bode Miller won...

    Vonn swims with sharks?

    I saw Lindsey on a shark week show last night, She seemed to have a lot of fun! Says she wants to dive with them next year. Anyone else hear the gasps from coaches and sponsors?

    We need a dedicated thread. EDIT: Go ahead and post live results in this thread. do not read this thread if you don't want to know. It is simply too complicated between NBC's broadcast prime time, posters living From Australia/NZ, Japan, to the PNW, and the ability to live stream. Note...

    Cortina d'Ampezzo - Women's DH/SG

    Lindsey historical

    She's the oldest female to win a medal on a World Championship. Stuhec won her fifth DH this season and surprided me. What I've heard is that she completely reinvented her pre season dryland and came in to this season much stronger. Very happy for F Monsén coming in 16th in men's DH. Yong guy...

    Lindsey Vonn trying again for Men's DH

    It appears the Lindsey Vonnnis again trying for the Men's DH at Lake Louise. Personally, I have no issue it with provided she races all DH's on the men's circuit for the season and can not race the women's. You either commit or you don't, can't pick and choose the easier races just to see if...
