Conditions looking good in Canada, clear & bright. Dark clouds on the horizon though.

 

They’re running from the women’s starting gate, so a bit lower than normal.

 

Jared Goldberg  gets the first spectacular wipe-out of the season, walks away.

Pure quality. On the ES Player coverage of the Alpine skiing, we get an exclusive insight of commentator Nick Fellows arguing with tech support in Paris about whether he has installed the latest software patches.  
 

Took me right back. That used to be my job.  (Convincing arrogant senior people to install software patches, not commentating on alpine skiing.)

Well, next stop for the girls is Lake Louise. Maybe they could cover the cancelled GS there on Dec. 6th. But maybe racing too many days in the row may mean many complaints. Courchevel might be more reasonable.....

No way they're going to race downhill, downhill, super-G, giant slalom on consecutive days  

 

A regular two-race weekend stands a better chance, if it'd be covered at all.

Well, the problem ist that the technique skiers are then already back in Europe so that is no possibility.

Killington, Vermont, USA hosted the W Slalom WC 4 times and always ended by the win of Mikaela Shiffrin ahead of

 

That is some statistic

ESP commentator has just introduced Nina O'Brien as "Andreas Wellinger from Germany".
