For that you probably missed only possible option ever... last seasonPlanning to take each of my girls to Kitz and Schladming before they go to college. Wouldn’t bother me if only 200 people showed up for those races when I go again.

University of Vermont is "UVM"? Since Vermont is "VT", I figured it would be UVT, or VT, or U of V.
Is the "M" just from the second syllable of Vermont, or is there something more to it?
much like IU (indiana) vs UI (illinois) and KU (kansas) vs UK (kentucky), despite all being "university of XXX"Also:
"VT" is Virginia Tech.
"U of V" is nothing right now. University of Virginia goes by "UVA."
This reminds me of the old "UC" versus "CU" argument (the former is California and the latter is Colorado, even though it's not "Colorado University").
Whee?

Well IU actually does go by "Indiana University".... and some of the acronyms do get multiple uses. There are 3 major "OSU"s (Oklahoma, Oregon, Ohio), 2 major "USC"s (Southern Cal, South Carolina)...I'm sure there are others.much like IU (indiana) vs UI (illinois) and KU (kansas) vs UK (kentucky), despite all being "university of XXX"
it's just what it is
I'm surprised a veteran, extremely experienced announcer at a ski event who wanted to make mention of the multiple UVM alumni in the race couldn't do the research (or have somebody else do the research) that it's UVM.Well IU actually does go by "Indiana University".... and some of the acronyms do get multiple uses.

So VT could potentially be both Vermont and Virginia Tech (my alma mater); But clearly they've gone with UVM, which is unusual enough that I'm not surprised the announcer didn't know how it was typically referred to.

Training for *tomorrow* (tue 11/30) has already been cancelled, according to the fis websiteSo training cancelled at Beaver Creek today due to snow?
There’s going to be two super g’s and two downhills to make up for LL?
no snowfall for a while in either directionI don't think the cancellation is due to snowfall as much as due to warm weather. It's super warm in Eagle County right now and will only barely reach freezing overnight into tomorrow. Colder weather returns overnight into Wednesday so it should firm up for some DH training then.
The LOC is likely trying to preserve a smooth track by not training on it tomorrow when the highs will be in the upper-40sF/6-7°C tomorrow. There also may be limitations from the USFS on any chemical treatment that can be used on the snow (e.g. solar salt or urea).
the finish is a little below 9,000 ft. IMO, the reliable early season snow is all above 10K ft ... Loveland (base >10K), Copper (base around 9700 ft; training up the mountain).Speaks interesting to the "always reliable early season" in high elevation Colorado.

If SSCV has Golden Peak ready yet, it's been very recent; they've been training elsewhere ...
I'm sure the hill will make it somehow ... but ... yeah. I'm sure there's an option to move the finish up the hill.
