Melissa Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Good luck and have fun everyone!!! Slam a beer or 5 afterward for me! Quote
Brian Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 There should be some fast snow up there. Was anyone up there last night? Quote
Bobert540 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Hope you are feeling better Ski! Great conditions last night on top of a very interesting course. Quote
Brian Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) So how did you guys do? No team results yet. There was a slight hiccup with how the computer calculated the team scores, so they couldn't get the team results complete quick enough. But we finally found someone who could beat the top man, Racewax.com's Chris..... Racewax.com's Bob. Edited February 1, 2008 by Brian Quote
Ski Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) So how did you guys do? One of our teammates wrote me last night to say we had the top three times, as well as the top female time...I had to leave Sno right after my second run, so I didn't see actual results. Bobert540 smoked the course and was the only person to break 35 seconds that I saw. The guy who is usually our fastest had to share skis with another racer, so he ended up dealing with some tough ruts because he went late and was second. And our super fast guy from Germany, who was dealing with the flu last week, uncorked a great second run for third fastest overall. I also saw Brian's runs and have no idea how he wasn't fastest. He and CJ are awesome racers. Edited February 1, 2008 by ski Quote
Brian Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 He and CJ are awesome racers. Thanks man... you too. Also, there's a rumor going around that Art was a no-show because he's still recovering from his Scott Macartney-like crash last week. Quote

Also, there's a rumor going around that Art was a no-show because he's still recovering from his Scott Macartney-like crash last week. Uh, Art pm'd me with his whereabouts....he swore he'd be back with us next Thursday if he can post bail. j/k He was off skiing at another mtn... Quote
Bobert540 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) Everyone did great last night! We have a team of very solid skier's. I believe Chris broke 35 seconds as well. It was nice to be able to watch everyone race from our team this week. Edited February 1, 2008 by Bobert540 Quote

It was nice to be able to watch everyone race from our team this week. Chris is as good as the elite ASRA guys, so if you can push him, then that really says something. I just think it's great how many Sno coaches are involved in getting their own race fix. You're in a pretty good position to see how doing your own racing is just one more tool for your coaching quiver. I always had more respect for my coaches in various sports who still played whatever game. I just felt they had a better understanding, rather than just preaching the book. Also, I'll make a proposal this weekend about some slalom gates for next Thursday and let you know. Quote

Also, I'll make a proposal this weekend about some slalom gates for next Thursday and let you know. I know exactly what you mean. I have always felt that way in all of the sports that I played growing up. That would be sweet to have some SL gates setup! Quote
Brian Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Haha, you're pushing the limits of my 8 y/o skis. Quote
Bobert540 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 This weather is a big downer..... any chance the race will still be on for tom. night?? Quote
Brian Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 I guess we'll find out for sure later today.. but the looks of the race trail from I-81 did not look good at all. Either they steal all the snow from the terrain park, or we use mud patches as gates. Quote
