That training run is at Coronet Peak in the South Island, NZ. I was at Roundhill a couple of years ago and saw this guy doing a really rutted slalom training run...I'm thinking, "he's not bad"....then "sh*t, he's elite".....then when he did a simulated race finish pumping his fists etc I thought "F@#* that's Ted Ligety!!". In fact I was going a bit nuts on the chair. So spent the rest of the morning watching him and the others ripping their training. Incredible. Fell in love with his skiing - so fluid. Most of the people at Roundhill were oblivious to who he was.
+1 too for Franz Klammer.
