A couple of questions on Ski Sunday -

1. Does anyone know if any skiing from VDI is being covered in this series?

2. Soes anyone have a link to any competition footage (preferably from Ski Sunday) from the Dace at VDI?

I have veen to VDI a few times (5 weeks total skiing) and have never braved the Face. Hope to break that fear this time (in three weeks). Am I mad!!

Thanks

It's really not that bad at all. It gets Icey but then again so do most black runs. The mad thing is skiing it as quick as you dare and then thinking I did well there, and then watching bode millar footage (attached) on YouTube and just realising how mad they attack these runs......

The big difference is the time of day. If you ski it between 10 and 12 in the morning it is much much easier than the afternoons when it is busier and bumpy.

Think if I did it in just over 1:33 I would leave a brown trail :shock:

Face run really isn't that bad. I'm by no means a good skier but ended up giving it a go.

The first half of the run is really good fun. The steep part at the end is daunting, but once you have the nerve to go for it, it's ok. It looks worse from the cable car than on skis.

Good luck!
Bon. Allez!
