Tough conditions to race in, snow and fog.... Not a sign of any snow over in the Savoie as yet, but it's on its way. Looks like Benni Raich for the overall title...

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

(He was robbed, with the final GS being cancelled, the Herminator's done it yet again... still, you have to admire him when you think the surgeons were considering amputation after his accident). No not seen Raich ski, just Alain Baxter who trains there as well, nice guy.

Benni seems like a nice guy. He should give Alain his medal back...

I don't know if it's true but the rumors were that he didn't accept the medal in the first place, if they are true that would seem to prove that he's a nice guy

D G Orf, I seem to remember that, but I also remember reading a "quote" a year later when Raich finally got the medal with him saying that he completely deserved the medal because he didn't make the mistake Baxter did. Who knows, the media blows everything up out of all proportion...

Watched the coverage this morning and having skied both slopes (mens S and womens GS) I have a lot more respect for what these guys can do.
I do wish these programs would show more of the resort(s) with heli views, info about the slope, where the slope is in relation to the piste map and/or the town and where the resorts are. This would add so much more to the program and give us an insight in to where we may like spend our holidays.

Trouble is there's little enough converage of the sport in the first place. As discussed in another thread, it's even worse in France of all places.
