Excited to announce that posts from the VailVal blog will now become part of the official Talon Crew website as of today and through the 2015 Championships in February! "Going Over the Brink Twice" was published there today.
Good report in today's Vail Daily regarding yesterday's training runs. "The Brink" gets mentioned as 21 racers missed the gate there. So even the big boys had some trouble with that gnarly spot. Makes me feel a bit better. (See my blog from earlier in the week about "Going over the Brink) To read the whole article from today's Vail Daily: Pace Quickens in Wednesday at Birds of Prey
In the second part of the article "Day 2 Adjustments" kudos go to the Talon Crew because the course praises are sung: "Skiers from multiple nations raved about the conditions, regardless of start position, meaning the course was holding up nicely." "Perfect," Jansrud said, "This is by far the best hill we're skiing, best conditions we have every year. It's not very icy and tough, but it's still compact snow and a dream to ski on." Well, I think parts of it are icy and tough and obviously since a few guys missed that gate up at Brink!
So check your local NBC listings for this weekends races or scroll down "Brink" blog below (or click December (at right)>Going Over the Brink Twice) for NBC listings as I have them.
