Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

Julia Mancuso bows out of racing in style!

After battling hip issues and surgery Julia Mancuso has retired from racing, but she bowed out in style on Friday at the Women's World Cup Downhill in Cortina D'Ampezzo by skiing the course dressed as Wonderwoman! Cool

There to greet her at the bottom of the course were her US team mates and also her best friend, retired British racer Chemmy Alcott. Smile Chemmy then did an interview with Julia, so I expect that will be shown on this weekend's Ski Sunday. Very Happy

Of course Julia Mancuso and Chemmy Alcott have been friends for a number of years, some sHs may remember this popular picture of Chemmy giving Julia her support(!) from a few years ago....

Just watched this on Eurosport player. I'm a big Julia fan, (she always seemed good fun and looked like she loved her racing, whatever her results) but I'm glad she's retired as she's never looked comfortable since her op. I wish her all the best in whatever she wants to do now.

I've now transferred my allegiance (American team-wise) to Laurenne Ross, who always seems to give a nice smile at the bottom of the slope. I don't like sulks, tantrums or drama queens! Madeye-Smiley

@maggi, I know what you mean but I must admit to admiring anyone who can throw themselves down those courses.

@geepee, yes, they're all nutcases, though! If I were a ski racer, (rather than an inept, English holiday skier), I would do slalom.

@maggi, I suppose that’s summed up by by Tomba whose mother wouldn’t let him do the downhill, so he had to stick to slalom and giant slalom. Very Happy

Wonder if she'll compete on the World Freeride Tour, she made a guest appearance a few years ago at the extremes in Verbier and came third! I met a guide in Champoluc last year who is also a photographer and he filmed her a couple of years ago. He showed us a line she skied which at the time was windblown and he said she just ripped it at warp speed and made it look like hero snow - just in a different league, so talented

Yet another blight - VZV - scourge from my nation. What an embarrassment. Or, as is said better in French...., elle est sans discrète.

Whisper it but Laurenne is really a Canuckistani. Talked to her parents on a chairlift once.

Shush! Don't let that Nick Fellows know. Can't be doing with him telling us every single time she's racing Laughing .

It's not that she wouldn't be competitive, but unless some doctor does some serious magic, I think we will never see her skiing competitively again, in any kind of form. Her hip is so bad, there's simply no chance we ever see her on FWT. Especially with all the jumps and hits required to be competitive there.
