I forget which avy book it is but there is one shot of a wide area absolutely covered in ski tracks and one area where it slid. Predicting what snow will do is very far from absolute.

From a friend skiing at a super rich resort in Switzerland where people actually buy those stupid multi-thousand dollar designer skis and drive around in Bentleys with snow chains:

A women skis...

Yup. Here (UK) you can bet on just about anything you want right down to in-play events like who will take the next corner in football (soccer). Want to bet on some random waterpolo event? They'll be...

The two of them are usually in another league entirely technically

Lmao, my sides!

This x100. Applies to all beginner skiers too.

At least two sources analysing her skiing online saying her boot setup is way off just like it was at the start of last year (and I *think* in that case there was a return to her old boots)

Look at the vid, we're talking about beginners coming in at like 90 degrees.

Obviously the skier here is a total potato but these type incidents worry me. Even skiing somewhat slowly it is impossible to have a full 180 field of perfect vision for someone to cut across the...

She certainly seems to be a lot less trashy and more level headed than Vonn but with women you just never know.

Waterski surfing

When people are on 160 rentals they tip dive like a mofo and sometimes it's the only way but yeah, this gets thrown out by gapers way to much.

Ski racing needed him to shake things up. I love athletes with so much talent that they break the mould, I remember seeing some writeup on his boots and they were bizarrely modified.

It was great...

Yet another "Tech Talk JONG" reply

Was waiting for this one!

This one seriously raises the bar

Just before resorts and areas got called 'zones'

Impressive levels of fail

Yeah, I imagine she feels some pressure to act a certain way being an American that is winning a lot. With her personality she may have had a an easier time being from a Scandi nation or something....

You truly are doing God's work here, making sure these kids grow up with a father who can still walk.

As a euro I have no idea how anyone afford holiday skiing anywhere in the US without a season pass. $115 for a day ticket at a large resort vs about 59eu for large alps resorts in high season (almost...

Armada TST from a few years ago (2012?). Some kind of odd melting sad face:

I've been the jong on race boards who was thinking it'd be super hardpacked pisten carven day only to find 6" of fresh has fallen more than a couple of times.

I thought I'd accidentally logged in to Epicski

This would have been hysterical to have seen. Solid entry to thread.

Perfect GSA yellow/green too

Having rented many cars there (and the US) you are lucky if they even put anything but straight water in the windscreen washers. :nonono2:

Wow. If she can do that well in speed events she is going to be a dominant threat for overall for years to come.

It must be only out of general sense of politeness that these people continue to exist without being beaten to a pulp

Not before this season which was what I wrote (can't nested quote for some reason)

Wow didn't realise it was so big. I can't find a decent calender on the FIS site, are there more speed events in the second half of the season?

Amazing if she takes the overall going into the...

Can't wait until VR is everywhere for games like this though I'd probably scare the shit out of myself

She does seem to be pushing a lot harder recently, it is often necessary in SL to win where a couple of recoveries are still quicker than skiing clean but there is balance. I couldn't see from the...

Straddle in the slalom in Zagreb. Oops.

ABS pack?

I guess if XC skiing is too tame and not masochistic enough why not?

Consistent wins like that is so much harder in GS and even more so in SL and why most of the WC overall winner are better in speed events. Amazing achievements.

Crap, must have been 1st run positions

And she wins that too. 3 wins in 3 days is amazing.

Great to see. Her previous GS result made it look uncertain she'd be fighting for the podium in GS as well as SL for this season at least.

5th yesterday but today another slalom win. Some mistakes on the 2nd run but she was pushing hard and managed to increase her advatage.

^I love that one. One of failblog's very best

2nd in the GS a few weeks back too

It is wrong to entirely blame men for the insecurities and neurosis of individual women.

No wonder the current generation must resort to tinder in order to meet a partner if any approach or...

They've binned it in Finland and possibly Sweden now, it is keyboard skills. To think that my mind was blown when I found out apparently kids in the US don't learn to join up their writing (cursive)....

For those beating her up for squat depth she posted that that was the workout not full depth after the outpouring from social media armchair critics. I'm pretty sure her strength and conditioning...

Over here at least it says you are indian

Classic Serena comments in the presser. Injured (did look like that against Halep....) didn't play well etc. I'm sure the only reason she has fans sometimes in because she's USA and wins a lot.
