Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Although not quite what were looking for.... You can see "Live" commentry and positions on the Eurosport website

at the moment, Anja Paerson is leading the 1st run. Not sure if Britains Chemmy Allcot is taking part today.

Chemmy's name does not appear and the first run has just finished, so it looks like she didn't take part today, I seem to recall that she was still suffering from the effects of an accident recently so I guess that she decided it was safer not to take part today

D G Orf, she was definitely up for it when interviewed yesterday... in fact reckoned the dodgy conditions suited her...

Quote:

After spending the summer training at Bath for the first time, at the university’s high performance centre, Alcott emerged optimistic about the new season. Then she bruised her ribs, interrupting her training, and she lost 20 days’ practice on snow. Although she has recovered sufficiently to race today, her training is still restricted. Nevertheless, she remains hopeful of a top-15 finish.

“Here is not about physical form or technique, it is about how strong you are in the head,” Alcott said. “The hill is steep with not much snow, which makes it seem steeper.

“They iced it a couple of days ago but it has been raining and it looks like a zebra — black and white ice. For me that is good because it makes it more a mental game.”

Just checked, 'fraid Chemmy was well out of the running, finished 60th of 60 in the first run, 6 seconds off the pace. Didn't see it, don't know if she made a drastic error to lose so much time ...

Bode Miller stormed the Men's GS this morning (as expected). His skiing was almost in a different league to the other competitors. His racing line was very clean with a good tempo to his turns and finished 1.17 sec ahead of Blardone in 2nd.
Herman Maier was down in 15th place. He never got a good rhythm going, with his trademark hunched over and slightly untidy style. He was carrying an injury into the race and had apparently said that he was only using the race as practice for the races to follow over the season.
Mens GS Sölden

Anyway, it was nice to see some action on the snow - can't wait for the real thing in January (not GS racing mind!!)

Discussed recently on SnowHeads, the lack of tv coverage for alpine skiing events - not just in the UK, but also elsewhere in Europe.

On the Ski Racer forum, an excellent article from the International Herald Tribune. Would be interested to read your thoughts on the author's analysis and suggestions ...

"Why not build around the others to create more nights or long weekends of competition that will allow racers to settle in and connect with the community and the television networks to settle in and connect period. This could also soften the blow of weather-related cancellations in the speed events by providing a resort with at least some racing."
That reminds me of the time in Sierra Nevada in 1993, when the jury decided that the weather on the Saturday was too bad for the downhill, and so the slalom would be brought forward from the Sunday. Not surprisingly, the slalom specialists didn't like be ordered out of their beds to go and race in the rain, just because it wasn't perfect enough for us downhillers! So they went on strike, Tomba being the main ringleader. Meanwhile, we downhillers were playing tourist, looking around the Alhambra in Granada!
