We just finished a bout of Europa Cups in the Dolomites - in Alta Badia, San Vigilio and Obereggen. They turned out to be very successful for the US team, as Jimmy and Tom scored 2nd and 3rd place results respectively!

I had some difficulties of my own, and my timing in slalom seems to have momentarily flown the coop. I thought I had things figured out while we were in Beaver Creek, but apparently not! Slalom is an event of such minuscule margins and it can go awry for the subtlest of reasons. I watched a bunch of video yesterday though, and I have some ideas as to what has been going on. Thankfully we have a few days still until the next World Cup.

So we're just taking it easy this morning. We all went out and had some pizza last night before hitting the hay for a solid 10 hours. Our plan is to watch the DH race from Val Gardena around lunch-time and then drive the 30 minuntes up to Alta Badia.
