This is Federica Brignone walking to the start of course from the chairlift. She went up the lift without skis on and got a piggy back ride most of way by one of her coaches.
Can’t even explain how cool LL is as a race fan. I don’t think there is anywhere else all the racers are so accessible and how close you can get to talk and interact with them. It’s perfect for kids! My daughter has pictures and spoke with pretty much every racer there.
(No way that happens at bigger NA stops and certainly no chance in Europe)
Great pics @Black Dog
Though we don't have a thread specifically about Lake Louise, we have been talking about Mikaela's win in the Super G.
This was a crazy cool race weekend, between Lake Louise and the Birds of Prey....
Hard to keep up with all the cool action.
The rescue helo taking off to take Christine Scheyer of Austria off the hill after she crashed and tore her ACL. Somehow she manage to ski down without the assistance the Helo.
Actually it show the DH start house. It is just below the US Coaches left shoulder with the blue banners. What you on the upper right is snow fences coming down from the platter lift off the top of Larch. Not part of the race course, it was pretty scratchy up there. They groomed between the fences for an easy way down.
I think I got more course pics.
Men started a touch higher as a FYI.
Next year I can shoot some course pics to put up. Pretty interesting and much turnier before the jump on waterfall than you can see on TV.
