Nice n' icy please
Dave Murray Downhill: “A true Olympic
course. Whoever wins here at the Olympic
Games will be the true champion. I can
say nothing against this course. It has
everything...it’s just amazing to ski here. But
it is very, very difficult.” from Fall 2009 issue Full Story >>

Hoping for the big backyard win
“The
neat thing about the Olympics is that you have
to lay it out there and trust your abilities and
go for it. You can win and win and win on the
World Cup, but come the Olympics, it’s one run
and anybody’s day.” from Buyer's Guide 2010 issue Full Story >>

Forsythe Says Farewell
On the heels of the most successful season by the
Canadian women’s alpine squad in two decades, came
double-barrelled news. Allison Forsyth, one of the
mainstays of the Canadian program for a dozen years,
was forced into retirement by her battered 29-year-old
left knee that can no longer carry her down the slopes. from Buyer's Guide 2009 issue Full Story >>

A Season to Remember
The boys are back and the timing couldn’t be better
as Canada makes the turn for the 2010 Olympic Games.

Eggxactly how do they do it?Many young ex-racers with enormous
talent who succeeded in the Pontiac Cup
series either failed to make it to the World
Cup or to do well at the top of the pyramid.
The operative question, therefore, is what
exactly is it that separates a World Cup
racer from the rest of the crowd? from November 2005 issueFull Story >> |

Right Idea, Wrong WinterIf predicting next winter’s ski racing
champions in the summer were a sweet
science like, say, betting on quarter horses
in Alberta, your humble prognosticator
would have made a bundle the last two
years mainly on quinella bets. Although
I’ve now predicted the next female champion
three years running (Janica Kostelic, Anja
Paerson and Paerson again) in this offseason
madness, I’ve faltered somewhat
with the men, calling for Stephan Eberharter,
Bode Miller and Benjamin Raich with results
of Eberharter, Hermann Maier and Miller. Full Story >> |

Canada's best from Greene to GrandiGoing into this season, his 12th on the circuit,
Grandi had built a fairly convincing case
that he could be considered Canada’s all-time
best male technical racer in the 38-year history
of the World Cup. His only real competition for
that honour was the storied career of “Jungle“

the Crazy Canucks back in the early ’70s. Full Story >> |
