They are not that far away I’ll get it started I’m ready Front Back

Nice to see Nolan is back racing. His Nor-Am starts the past couple of days were his first races in almost 3 years. 34 months to be exact since Schaldming on 1/27/15. Had a decent day yesterday in 11th with the 9th fastest 2nd run. Been a long road back and it really shows his determination...

In a recent post, @Muleski stated that the women on the USST were more interesting to watch these days, which I find accurate and interesting. I'm currently watching this Facebook Life from the USST at Copper Mountain. Its basically a video of them talking to kids who are training at Copper and...

Some of us received a recent email with this information in it. Today, skiracing.com published an article outlining the plans of U.S. Ski & Snowboard {I will try to get used to that name} for the future.....at least through the 2026 Olympics, hence the name "Project 26." I want to read through...

Many may know of Lila Lapanja, who's almost 23, and a native of Truckee, CA. Lila, other than some Schiffrin kid was arguably our next best SL skier {perhaps a touch behind Resi}. She scored her first World Cup Points, has plowed through injury, and in a move that I would say was quite unpopular...

Hi, long time no posting. I have done a few videos lately and here is the first one in a series of short 2min video on one topic only. Please comment. TDK

Apparently released late 2016 but have no idea where to purchase/aquire a copy now. Anybody know? Looks like they created some sort of app in the app store but is the content the same as the original video? Thought somebody here might know what that story is.

Although FIS Snow Control is not until Nov 2, it is looking pretty promising for racing in Levi this year.

I was planning to buy an Orange Fox gate drill this season to replace my existing heavy duty one. The reduced weight of the Orange drill bit is significant and also enables longer battery life on the hill. They are not inexpensive however and i just got my weekly email form Reliable Racing...

So, I was inspired by the discussion in another thread about whether racers can ski bumps or bumpers can ski gates, etc. I basically agree that "great skiers can ski pretty much anything." But I wonder if there are limits to that maxim at the top level of the sport. So I propose a thought...

Just putting it out there to see who will be in attendance. I'll be there Thursday night through Monday and on top of tickets for the races I have a pair of Lift Tickets to burn.........

Since my daughter has 'retired' from racing, this will be my first season in a few years that I won't be heading down to Austria and the glaciers for the season start-up camps in a few weeks from now (October). Tried a few, but Hintertux has been a favourite, since it has a bit more steep...

Every once in a while I stumble upon some old footage that leaves me with my mouth hanging open.

Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows to Host 2018 NASTAR National Championships, March 21-25 NASTAR National Championships returns to the Sierra for first time in nearly 40 years [Olympic Valley, Calif.] June 1, 2017 – U.S. Ski & Snowboard announced today that Squaw Valley will host the 2018 Liberty...

All the great names come quickly to mind, Stenmark, Maeir, Klammer, Tomba, Maze, Kostelic...... For the record, I'm a huge Vonn fan. Yuge!! Anyway, Outside Magazine thinks she's the best ever and breaks out the supporting evidence in this article..... What say you?? Outside Magazine: The...

SkiRacing has this article, which I thought was interesting and then I thought.... In a sport where we talk about the gender gap, it fascinates me that we talk about Lindsey and Michaela more than just about any other ski racer, well there's Bode too. From a personal standpoint, I'm fairly...

Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows offering youth spring training camps, set alongside some of the world’s best skiers and riders. [Olympic Valley, Calif.] Apr. 12, 2017 – With more than 57 feet of cumulative snowfall to date, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows is primed to once again host Tahoe’s longest...

She's the oldest female to win a medal on a World Championship. Stuhec won her fifth DH this season and surprided me. What I've heard is that she completely reinvented her pre season dryland and came in to this season much stronger. Very happy for F Monsén coming in 16th in men's DH. Yong guy...
