With lack of snowmaking temps forcing the cancellation of the Nor-Am's out west how is Killington here in the east looking for the womens WC? Anyone headed to Tremblant for the next womens WC race? Looks like Lindsey Vonn will be making a comeback this year.........will be interesting to watch. Hopefully we see Sam with more top 30 results this year.......keep the momentum going! Anything exciting going on at the local level?

Killington just received the go on snow control for the WC races. Probably the most expensive snowmaking build to date, they were making snow in upwards of 37 degree air temp weather (thank goodness for the super dry air stretch we had making wet bulb around 28 those days). All their old tech air hog guns to the rescue!

That is great news. Im sure Tremblant wont have a problem with snow if Killington is good to go. If Tremblant is on the schedule next year I might try and go.

Beaver Creek Dh training today. Hopefully SAM gets a top 30. He starts #28........good to see him start inside the top 30........its a big deal.

I was wondering when/if Lindsey Vonn would be starting on the WC.......she placed 14th in the SG at St Moritz.

She already had a P 14 in a World Cup SG........the headline is saying Downhill is her 'main' event........samantics

It was a good weekend for the USA Women.........good to see the results while Mikaela is out.

[SpillwayEast]

The longest Downhill on the Mens WC Circuit will be happening and Sam posted a solid result in the training run yesterday..........a Top 20 in the race would be great.

If I’m reading it right Ryan Cochran-Siegler was first in the 2nd training run!

Good to see 4 Americans in the Tops 30 with Sam getting some SG points with a P 27.

At Sugarloaf, seeing the scoreboard. She was winning by seconds.

Amazing, how she went on to break all the winning records.

[SpillwayEast]

The Nor Am Finals at Sugarloaf will be held in the next few days, bringing some world-class racing to Narrow Gauge. If you're on the slopes, it's worth watching a few runs.

It was cool to find the World Cup Finals live on USA Network. I assumed it wasn't on live tv so didn't look..........my loss.
