This is confusing.

Is the run 2 for ladies GS going to happen tonight?

Also, is Men's DH happening tonight?

Anyone know?

**BmillsSkier** · 02-14-2018, 08:09 PM

Yeah, I'm lost too.

I am however stoked to see that the US has a guy named John Daly due up in Skeleton.

Less stoked to find out its not actually Big J.D.

Yes and Yes, within the hour

**John_B** · 02-14-2018, 08:10 PM

I believe Men's downhill is in about 30 minutes.

**Vt-Freeheel** · 02-14-2018, 08:11 PM

DH 9:30 ET and 2nd run GS 11:45 ET

**BmillsSkier** · 02-14-2018, 08:12 PM

Holy shit that S. Korean Skeleton slider fucking ripped!

He made something so terrifying look smooth and fun.

Love skeleton. My brother was on the national team. I though I might give it a go until I went to see this race. The finish where I was standing was brutal.

9:45 mst tonight for the 2nd run. MS is in good shape.

Skeleton seems harder to control than luge.
A lot of body slamming up against the wall.

Slipping the course. Moves loose snow and chunks away from the line. Typical in most all races. Even you if you can ski well can maybe get on the course maintenance crew and slip the course. I've been on the list for the Aspen races but locals always get dibs on the good volunteer slots.

Funny. Mom pulled the bar down on the chair. Though did it slow enough so no one was beaned.

**goldengatestinx** · 02-14-2018, 08:30 PM

Men's DH is on!

**Sirshredalot** · 02-14-2018, 08:34 PM

A neighbor kid is competitive on the national junior level. Nice kid. Good family. Questionable judgment.

**The Tortoise** · 02-14-2018, 08:35 PM

This course looks way closer to a super G than a downhill.

**MTT** · 02-14-2018, 08:35 PM

too e, this Down hill venue looks kinda brutal. Technical, lots of places to get twisted up

**goldengatestinx** · 02-14-2018, 08:37 PM

Those bumps in the traverse are almost invisible to the camera but are bucking 'em.

**JMO** · 02-14-2018, 08:37 PM

Anyone else notice the name of the 3rd jump in the DH?

**Hott Butt Mud** · 02-14-2018, 08:38 PM

Bode is getting some shit for his commentary and comments on a racer lady being married. I hate how twitter turns every little comment in to a real-time controversy.

Yep it's in a weird in between place. Super G turns with DH speed - The Airs are big someone is gonna break something trying to go for the gold

**Jong Lafitte** · 02-14-2018, 08:39 PM

Jongbong drop sounds like a specific type of party foul.

Have you told him about this place?

It's no Streif. I bet Tanner would have lived on this course.

Uh-oh. Bode apologizing for an attempted joke about spouses. #metoo

**goldengatestinx** · 02-14-2018, 08:39 PM

80 mph+ with 145+ ft jumps. Seems pretty downhilly to me.
