Funny to see the ski area slams in a thread about Shiffrin.

No one is slamming ski areas here. You don’t understand the backstory...

Wow I thought this was a thread about one of the worlds best skiers?! Silly me, I forgot. This is TGR and the subject frequently devolves into a testosterone fueled pissing match that has little to do with skiing. My BAD

Nailed it, the second time!

God I hope Shiffrin win in Lienz on the 28th or 29th and we get talking about ski racing again.

Idk, catching bushwhacka in that lie, and his ensuing edit and bail was fucking amazing.

Ya, even though I feel I’ve provided some good insight on World Cup racing in this thread, I’ve also enjoyed the self destruction of Bushwacka.
I can’t wait to chat with some colleagues, in the race world, who work at Stowe and let them know this instructor is trying to pass himself off as a sub 100 point racer.

Agreed. That the edit was too late is beautiful. And the fact that his lie occurred at the same time he was lecturing about objective facts was supreme ironing.

I feel like it would have been worse to allow his advice to the worlds most dominant skier go unchecked.

Racing: i enjoyed watching her duel slalom win. Are there still jumps in duel slalom?

Did you watch the race? Yes, there was a jump in the Dual slalom.
There was carnage. Anyone catch the men's Dual, GS from Italy. That was gnarly.

I love dual events. They're so entertaining.

I wish they'd do more, but lower the points for winning to 50 instead.

The length and G-ratedness of this thread is evidence of an "epic" migration of barking bears to TGR. Instead of a separate thread they need their own sub-forum. Label it PSIA/FIS/USSA and they will naturally gravitate to the new sub-forum.

That's actually a brilliant fucking idea.

Why do you want to lower the point awarded to the winning athletes? To do one traditional race with only 2 SL runs you win 100 points.
In a Pararel Slalom you have to race a qualification run, and win 5 more runs to get your 100 points? I thinks that fair?
I dont agree that you should get 100 points for a win at the City Events, but thats a totally different topic of Parallel Slalom Vs City Event.
That should be saved for the FIS/Race subform.

More pages of edgy humor about her boyfriend, or whatever else, may not have been better.

A place for ski instructors to say she doesn't lift her inside ski already exists.

As I recall... the skiing establishment had very little good to say about Bode Miller. He just laughed and showed them all, there is more than one way to kick serious ass.

pretty damn amazing and strong

just think how this place would react if her boyfriend was black.

It's insane how Bode makes that looks so easy.

Because I think 100 points for a parallel event where there is just one run in the semi's and final's to decide the winner is a bit much.

I think this is a subliminal message to anyone Monday morning QBing her.

What about the city event, which is also parallel slalom, but the difference is that in each heat you get to run both courses to advance? That seems fair to win 100 points right?
BUT only the top 12 SL World Cup standings athletes and the top 4 Overall World Cup Standings athletes get invited. Is that fair that the opportunity to win 100 points is only available to the top of the class?

I don't think either event is worth 100 points. Simple enough.

Wow! She’s not just hot, she’s hot in that classy, sophisticated way that seems to be rarer and rarer these days. Her skiing? That girl rips.

So what is the incentive for the athlete to race these events? Prize money alone?

Yep, Natty Light in one hand, cigar in the other while dropping a chute.
Those were one of a kind camps.
Really digging Petra right now in slalom.
She's going to make this season really fun.

Agreed on both counts. It's like he's mind-fucking the other racers
"Hey, let's see if y'all can do THIS..."

Back on track - Shiffrin is a joy to watch ski. And shows a lot of humility, poise & class in a very public life.

(Shiffrin probably is more of an all-rounder than Vonn.) They got there with really hard work, even for subtle things like Shiffrin working to crank a pullup.
