Did anyone see Peter Fill and his right hand ski ? How can it come away as easy as that ? Will he be using Dynastar for the rest of the season ?

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

Paul Mason, I saw it  Dynastar certainly owe him big if it turns out to be their fault.

Russell, yes.

Russell, as Elizabeth B says - yes - though I don't know where it happened. When I took the photo I was about 5 seconds from the end of the race, just after the last jump.
It was very cold first thing, the conditions perfect for the first racers down the hill. Then a slight wind got up, temperatures began to rise and this certainly didn't favour the late starters. Young Les Arcs racer Thibault Garnier had precisely the same problem, losing a ski to "excessive compression" (apologies, don't know the proper English term for this!) when after a jump he went down too hard on his skis to absorb the shock, this causing a binding to release. It's not that rare a mistake - happened in one of the women's speed events last week, I think.
A selection of photos, racing and fun, in this album.
Hannah will kill me (she'll hate the photo) - but a first for the forum! (and one better than SCGB, Natives and all the rest can claim!

Now if only she'd had a snowHeads t-shirt.....

Ian Hopkinson, I hope you're not referring to the lengthy period I spent in the hospitality tent
These events must cost the resorts a fortune. I would love to see the figures, how it all balances out.

You know it makes sense.

PG, Great photos. I don't think either Bode or Hermann were in a kissing mood anyway! BTW everyone: Finlay Mickel beat hermann Maier and several other top bods today. I believe he also scored worl cup points - GREAT!

easiski, and check out Chemmy's performance over on www.snowracers.net - a great result for her after a shaky start to the season in North America...

PG, as we say here in Mordor - style! (use heavy South Mordor accent). Pity about treading on the bloke in the middle's toes though

PG, I was commenting on the fact you had daughter centre frame rather than race winner  I'm sure snowHead funds can support you in your trips to the free hospitality tent, networking and stuff - I'm sure!

The ski broke real high up, Conrad Bartelski spotted it early on in the C4 coverage.

So are we all rushing off to buy Blizzard skis then? As used by Werner Franz! And the guy who came second was on Heads.

More on Bode Miller's astonishing, and now record equalling start to the season over on our sister forum, snowRacers. Another win for him at Sestriere.
David Goldsmith, does Konrad post here anonymously ?

Konrad posts on here as "Mr B", IIRC

FAQ
I suspect that she and her friend Alisson would have preferred the traditional "bise" (kiss on cheeks) from Bode rather than Herr Werner, but I told them it could have been worse - it might have been Maier
