Ski Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 Congrats, Sib! Now, break down and order a big one of that. Quote
sibhusky Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Posted January 4, 2007 But, wait, there's more. These are today: Quote
Ski Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 Wow, buy the last one! Even she has to be happy with that one... Quote
Tyler Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 i like the first one the best. But i'm not looking at it through the eyes of a racer. Quote
Ski Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 i like the first one the best. But i'm not looking at it through the eyes of a racer. Ha, well, 'Dude might point out how in the last photo, she has no counter-rotation, her hands are driving forward, she's skeletally stacked nicely...it would be hard to distinguish her from a WC in that photo, not unlike JohnnyP's signature photo. Very, very, very, nice.... Quote
sibhusky Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) Yeah, I like that last one best myself. I've decided to show her all that are taken and get the one she likes the best. She's pretty fussy. The kicker is, she did better yesterday. Today's course was supposedly "cursed". Two girls left on sleds, there were endless long delays, some girls came down crying, one of the top contenders gave up three gates from the bottom.... Edited January 4, 2007 by sibhusky Quote
skierboi Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 do you know how the sugarbowl girls have been running? Quote
sibhusky Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) Here's the link to the FIS site. I don't know any names on your team. Edited January 4, 2007 by sibhusky Quote
skierboi Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 no one really has score out there, we have a few girls that have but none of our sub 100 skiers have Quote
Shadows Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 buy her some twin tips so she can ski with Ski's 19 year old daughter in the park Quote
sibhusky Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Posted January 5, 2007 buy her some twin tips so she can ski with Ski's 19 year old daughter in the parkThey used to race together at CB. I think it's more likely that Siblet will get fatties someday for the backcountry. Quote
skimom Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 Looking good, Sibby. Did it help her points? Quote
sibhusky Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Posted January 5, 2007 Looking good, Sibby. Did it help her points?In a word, no. The first GS helped her FIS points slightly, but none have helped her USSA points. Of course, she didn't have dryland training or ANY skiing until she got here mid-December, so it's not surprising. At this point in her career, it's not about "moving up", it's just about enjoying the race. School is just too much work for her to spend time preparing for races anymore. Sad, but it's reality. Unfortunately, you get to an age where you are up against kids who are still hoping they'll make the US Ski Team, not a lot of happy amateurs. We hope that she will just keep her hand in until she can qualify for Masters racing. Quote
