What are the freezing levels like? It looked like there was a spike in the temps from the GFS coming in with the next front...

Concerned for Sainte Foy that it may get some rain lower down!

There is always an exception to the rule.
How many skiers would have recovered from this and come second?

You try skiing that course at around 80mph! Respect to him. He will get better. He is only 22 which is still young for a WC downhiller, especially British. That course is only run once per year as are most WC Downhills. They all have to be learned and it takes many years to do so. Look at the average age of the top WC Downhillers. About 30+
Give him a chance please.


Of course I will give him a chance and I understand that you are involved with racing in some way so will probably be more defensive than the norm but I was just saying how he looked. I just didn't think he looked particularly solid (for a British skier.... or an Austrian skier..... or an American).

I did not profess I could ski the course at 80mph, that would be a bit daft considering I haven't devoted my life to racing. Good on him for having the balls to do it.

I hope he gets better and does very well! Whether that comes with experience or not who knows.
