Excited -Downhill day - got the early bus at 5.40 am to start work at 6.00 am. Weather was looking really good, the track was in great shape and most of the powder had gone. I had a full dye crew for once, we did two good laps of the course putting down the dye - everything was looking great!! I had all 8 of my dye packs in use for the first time ever. It was too good to be true! Next thing we heard the race was postponed due to heavy winds - and then it was cancelled!! Really disappointed!
Take Two - Super G Day - another early start. Everything in great shape again - the set looked good with some interesting turns and this time everything went to schedule. Early morning there was a threat of snow but by race time it had all cleared up and the World Cup was underway!! One of those interesting turns however took out the US stars, Bode Miller and Ted Ligerty among others!! Another turn tested our A net with a crash right in front of me - but it was a great race. - well done Georg Streitberger from Austria for today's win.
GS tomorrow!!
