I was a competitive slalom skier in high school back in the late 60's in northern Michigan. Back around 1985, I took a ski trip to Alberta, Canada and stayed at Sunshine Village where the 1984 World Cup championships were held.
I had the opportunity of skiing the slope where the Husky downhill was held and all I can say is OMG!
Watching these events on television DO NOT even come close to conveying the actual courses these skiers have to compete on.......
Very impressive, HT. My favorite skiing competition is the giant slalom. BTW, whatever happened to barrel jumping? I like barrel jumping a lot more than curling.
