Don't know why they are there, we don't have anyone in any of the races at all except maybe the Slalom on Sunday?
Perhaps they are just watching?

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

The team car wasn't in Kitzbühel. I too had suspected that they were in the area for the Kitzbühel week but the garage told me that they are regular customers and have a base nearby (maybe Saalbach?). I didn't meet any of the team.

The Range Rover is sponsored so I doubt they pay very much for it, maybe fuel at most.

I wondered about the Range Rover, could it be part of a sponsorship deal ? British ski team used to have to travel in whatever they could find, usually someones private car

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

AndrewBailey, papasmurf, Large Range Rovers may not be cheap, but they are still bound to be less than the cost of hiring suitable vehicles to get the skiers, coaches, technicians, and all the kit around between the various competitions.
Or even just around the area they are based in, for training etc.
International level competition skiers have a lot of gear.

alex_heney, Never said they didn't need it... just that it isn't cheap (Sport HSE pictured @ £45K). Didn't know about the sponsorship deal so I hope they get them free given the running costs in fuel for ferrying all that kit that you mention.

Snow conditions are quite good. There was a sprinkling of fresh snow Thursday night which has helped a little. Weather yesterday and today perfect!
