Big opportunity for  Kanoe Pelfrey, very small field today for the WC halfpipe. 

She did no tricks down Run 1. She should not be going to the Olympics, its a mockery of the sport.

Was hopeful for Rodriguez Sanchez or Virgin islands but three straight events now without a result is going to make it difficult.

No Crane-Mauzy again today in Aspen. Uh oh.

 and  look to have earned, or come very close to female alpine quotas today.

The FIS should probably establish some sort of technical minimum in half pipe (and other freestyle discipline). Like if you go to the Olympics in moguls / slopestyle / half-pipe you should be able to land a fucking 360°

Ya this is who I had in mind.

 

I know quite a few recreational skiers who could have done better.

Well the good thing is that it looks like there is no chance she is going, not near enough ranking points, did not meet minimum eligibility standards. I think you would have do some tricks to be able to get the required FIS points so basically there is a technical minimum.

has a snowboarder, unlikely to qualify. Same with in skeleton.  has capability of qualifying in alpine skiing, but they are on the outside looking in right now.

Any changes somewhere with one week left?

no chance now for  two active skiiers who are way off the standard.  is miles away from even being competitive in skeleton.  has a shot in both skeleton and alpine, alpine seems to be out of reach now but still possible. After today's NA cup race in skeleton is added to the rankings there will be a more definitive answer on how close Tannenbaum is.
