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 :-)

@swskier, yup. I assume they are all wearing some sort of tracker to do that. Seemed to be green or shades from yellow to red or so.

Extremely respectable finish for Dave, dare say he's wishing he'd pushed fractionally harder down the first leg.

What a result for Greece - Silver Medal.

Amazingly gutsy effort by Lucas Braathen, so close to having his appendix removed.

There's been some great racing and surprising results over the last 2 weeks.

Superd courses, sunshine everyday and impressive crowds.

Back to normal WC next week. Let's hope the GB skiers can take some confidence from these championships to the WC.

Have to agree, fantastic two weeks of racing.

Wasn't a fan of the live timing in the GS though. Much prefer the anticipation of the stage gates.

No gold medals in skiing for Austria, that last happened in 1987.

Hirscher must be over the moon that someone on his company‘s skis won a gold medal. I remember people scoffing at him last year when he predicted his skis would win races. Very Happy

Start delayed due to condition of the snow. They are salting the piste, review of when (if?) it will start about to take place....

They are however taking the opportunity to salt the racetrack.

If today's downhill is ultimately cancelled because of the fog in Crans Montana then it will be rescheduled for tomorrow in place of the Women's Super G which will no longer take place.

Looks like the Downhill may get underway at 12:00 UK time (2 hours later than scheduled). Smile

Edit: Race cancelled as although the fog has finally cleared the snow on the racetrack is too soft. Sad

@maggi, I'm watching it on the app. Looking at their schedule it doesn't look like Eurosport is covering it live on either Eurosport One or Two.... Sad

@Alastair Pink, I haven't got the app anymore Crying or Very sad . Very disappointed about the cancellation of the ladies downhill. I watched it for ages whilst the were waiting for it to possibly go ahead. No idea why they are showing a recording of last week's race rather than the Men's GS.

Today's Men's downhill from Aspen started but was halted due to bad weather (blizzard conditions moving in at the top of the course) before 30 skiers had come down, so under FIS rules it wasn't classed as a race, meaning the leader at the time Sejersted from Norway was denied a first ever World Cup win......

@PrimroseAndBlue, the weather played a big role, the first racers had difficult conditions but when the weather improved that favoured the later racers. Just the luck of the draw (literally!).

Oh absolutely, and that's what made it such fun. Some great performances in the trickier conditions nonetheless. And what a podium !
