Podium: Feuz, Mayer, Svindal (All Head)
Mayer and Svindal returning from recent injuries looking very strong. This course suits Svindal as well w/the long gliding section at...

Hello, I'm from Eastern Ontario.
I like long rides on the snow, and watching sunsets while skiing. I'm hoping the skison begins soon!
I used to have a Tremblant pass, but this year the wife and I opted for something a bit closer to get to on weeknights.
Still commuting by bike, and feeling...

Heading out there late Feb. on a 4 night, 3 day FAM trip to look into possibly taking the ski club next winter. I would like to go armed with as much knowledge as possible.
What I know: It's in Canada. It's big.
Is it worth trying Revelstoke at Christmas time? I can get cheap flights into Calgary and I've always wanted to check out the mountain, but I also want to pick a place where there's likely to be coverage and maybe even some chance of a little fresh powder. We did WH20 and Red Mtn last year and...
i am looking at taking a spring break trip with my daughter. This will be her first ski trip out west. We are both advanced skiers. I am pretty open to anywhere inside the US. I just want to find the place that will have best coverage and value. I've been to Keystone and think that would be nice...

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...
