Jumping in at the DEEP end

Dave. As a clueless non-racer, i have no idea what you are talking about now. What happened to the regs? How have they changed?

this might give you some enlightenment..(along with the comments under the article)..its a bit beyond me!

Dancing on skis......even more elegant, and without having to rely upon a partner at your side. Good luck. :D

Chemmy,
Now if you really want to impress those Canadians ( Jean-Francois Belisle, Erik Guay),,just casually mention in your conversation that you love that "poutine" (pronounced phouteene).

You will get a silence from them,,then a great smile and perhaps a hug from Erik since you have told them one of their secrets.

Only they know what it is.

Hmm, I see Benni Reich and friends are on their way to Zermatt ~ Austrian-Canadian fireworks!

We had them both on the race arena in Niederau, week before the Hahnemkamm!

Is that the same as potcheen ( spelling ) Irish tipple?

No.

Poutine is a special very different item that your physician will tell you to never try.

It is only found where Eric Guay comes from.

I am sure his trainers do not want him to have this.

I have it once a year since it is sooooo bad for you.

After a day of skiing,,,,,,, ( sometimes )

Certain Canadians will know all about this item.
