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 :-)

Men's WC - Val Gardena & Alta Badia
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Werner Heel took the Val Gardena Super G on home soil this morning; in doing so, he became the first ever Italian to win the event.

Didier Defago skied a solid run too, however finished the best part of half a second behind the impressive Heel.

Svindal, Maier and Miller were all off the pace.

All in all, I thought it was an enjoyable morning of skiing (watched this evening on Eurosport2 though). The weather conditions certainly didn't help a few of the runners in the middle of the top 30 pack - a few of the top guys certainly seemed affected in the air with gusts of wind seemingly knocking them off balance.

skisimon, I was an idiot and didn't notice skiing yesterday, but it was great today. Always a really difficult course with all the elements you expect in a proper downhill. Welcome back Michael Walchoffer! Very Happy Svindal clearly had a problem with his skis, and poor Didier Cuche looked as though something outside his control was affecting his run - he was visibly doing everything he could to go faster, and it wasn't happening. Very good run from Bode, and the Yanks and Canadians had a great day. Very Happy Ladies from St Moritz was pretty eventful too. Shocked Looking forward to watching tomorrow's skiing when I get in from work (assuming Sky & Eurosport do show it when they schedule it of course)...

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

Today's was good too. Buechel looked less than impressed after his run didn't he... It looked like Walchoffer and Osbourne-Paradis were on another level to the rest though. The course didn't seem to cut up as much as most seemed to expect, thought the weather was a pain at times today, just as it was yesterday.

skisimon, Agreed, and also the course was much better this year with the greater snow cover - do you remember it 2 years ago with hardly any snow and at least twice as many bumps?

easiski, I think we must have been the only two people to watch any racing this weekend, there are usually at least a few people commenting...

Anyway, I missed the first run of the GS at Alta Badia this morning, but thoroughly enjoyed the second run. What a great course - so much better than Val D. What a run from Kostelic!

Is anyone else getting fed up with the commentators' love affair with Miller. Yes, he is a great skier, arguably one of the best. But if listening to their comments in isolation you'd expect him to be at the top of the overall leader board, not languishing outside the top ten. I agree that he can get away with being on the edge more than most skiers, but once he's gone over the edge, he has the same problems as all the others.

No, there was me! Set to record tomorrow's too. Knowing Eurosport + dodgy weather, will be lucky if I get it to see it though rolling eyes .

Watched both runs of GS on vid, but had to watch the last of the 2nd run this am as fell asleep last night! Brilliant - everything a GS should not, not like last week's effort. Brilliant, brilliant - who wants DH when they can have GS? Very Happy Very Happy

Great racing over the weekend.

I personally thought that Laura Gut's result in the ladies SG was the best result of the weekend. A 17 year old winning a WC event Very Happy

Me too. Although I have not had time to watch the ladies races yet.

I wonder if Bode is back on the booze? he is just a different character to that of last year, doesn't look as fit either? Has he actually fallen in more races than he's finished this year?

The racing has been exciting but there have been very few races not weather affected, I'm looking forward to a mens downhill in brilliant sunshine, no wind and minus temperature snow and air from top to bottom - just to see who is the best. Surely either Bormio, Wengen or Kitzbuehel will deliver?
