Poster: A snowHead

In high summer the world's elite ski racers are either in the southern hemisphere or carving the main European glaciers.
This report from Ski Racing pins down the national teams to New Zealand, Chile, Switzerland....and a little known but up-and-coming ski area in Argentina.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I think a lot of teams went south this year after the poor conditions in Europe last summer (2003). It was great for us - with no French ladies spped team our red run the Dome was open to regular skiers. It's been closed off for the team for the last few years.

Our Dome is still closed to regular skiers, unfortunately, and it's nothing to do with the French ladies team.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I was in Saas Fee in early July. As well as the Swiss men there were also a few junior squads, including the US.
Awesome to watch, especially as at the end of their training sessions most of them had a blast down the skierX course.

Spyderjon,
Was that with Warren by any chance? I was there a week later, and they were all out in force on the lower slope then too - even the British Men and Juniors.
Only got one week this year - which sucked! - but it's better than none I guess...

JonL,
Yep, with Warren. Were you doing the freestyle week? Rohn, one of the guys on our course stayed on for another week to do the freestyle week. He reckons it was superb.
I'm doing another week with Warren in Verbier in December. Can't wait.
