I think some people are looking at the NASTAR pics and thinking they are skierboi's when skierboi is referring to a NON-NASTAR race he fell in, not a NASTAR race. Am I right?

Oh, that this were true. We've got a guy who drinks and gets stoned before races and no one has done a thing about it. He is the best skier on the team, too, a real "role model". But last I heard he was giving younger kids beers the night before a race. One of those kids tore an ACL the next day.

Basically if you read all the quotes about his success, everyone thinks he just has the muscle to overcome essentially poor skiing (not compared to MINE, of course). Lots of mistakes, lots of recoveries. The guy is not about precision, that's for sure. Raich, or my hero, Ingemar Stenmark, are really better skiers than he is.

She didn't DNF. I was just afraid she would. As it turns out, she wasn't carrying enough speed for a really long flat section, in spite of the fact that when this picture was taken she was plainly attacking the course. She finished, but not as well as we both hoped. Her tuning was handled by a professional ski tech (our team pays for this at FIS races), so it shouldn't have been a tuning issue. All you need to do is bleed too much speed at the last gate before a flat section and you are sunk.

In the red? Boy, have you changed!

Well, before you fixed it, it said "uphauling".....

The SL today. At least we know she didn't DNF before this pic....

appalling?

How about in the awards section?

Adam, are any of these you? http://www.rossmillerphoto.com

Well, so much for that trophy; Bode's Trophy

Someone came to Montana?

Well, have you emailed them (you want to do this before they close) and tell them the results still aren't posted? They may have uploaded them and had problems and not known it. That happened here once.

VERY cool. I hope all those guys actually show up!

I hope the ski family is an inspiration to her.

We closed today. It was pouring rain, but I hadn't planned to ski anyway, since Siblet is on her way to Park City on her first solo plane trip. We hope to ski Fernie over Spring Break and maybe Blacktail.

Congratulations one and all. I hope you scraped a lot of that powder off the course for Siblet!

Do they ski today? I see there are more races today.

Not sib, tho. Sib doesn't fall.

Here's a sequence from one run. This is slalom.

Sib does the bumps.... These were taken the first weekend in March, in between race viewing.

Well, you can make lots of huge arcing turns in fresh stuff, but I admit that the sensation is totally different. And once it's all chopped up into crud, it requires concentration. But, I actually chose to do some mogul runs yesterday because they are so much fun when the moguls are as soft as down comforters.

I don't have a problem with fog -- I use a fog cloth. But the goggles came with these darn slits in them. Today, since it's FINALLY snowing like crazy here, I got some tape from the lady in the cafeteria and sealed up the stupid slits. It did NOT produce a fog problem, but mysteriously I still got a miniscule amount of snow in my goggles. Still a big improvement.
