Today I had the pleasure of going to the Womens World Cup in Aspen. Today the women raced GS. Two americans advanced to the final containing 30 skiers. Julia Mancuso who came in 4th for the qualifier and Lindsey Vonn who came in 20th at the qualifier. Vonn has not had such great success at the GS and is more of a downhill skier but she did get her first GS win this year. 
Sorry for the crappy photo quality, I had to use my phone. I do have Videos but for some reason WordPress won’t let me upload it!
Anyways Julia Mancuso came in third place and Lindsey did not quite make the podium. At one point Vonn was in third and the girl coming down looked like she could beat Vonn. She ended up in 4th place losing to Vonn by 1 one-hundreth of a second! Now there were still racers to go so they did not get third and 4th place but it was fun to see! Mancuso was in second until the last racer was going. We knew she was going to get the podium no matter what because there was only one more racer to go. Mancuso ended up getting third place! The U.S has not made the podium at that race since 2005. The race was filled with happiness and tears. Some falls ruined some dreams and opened up others. All in all congrats to all the racers!
The womans world cup is tommorow and I have been very busy so sorry for the lack of posts 
. I will be attending the womans skiing world cup tommorow so expect a detailed post on the race with some good pictures!
This post has to be short because I am very busy so I am sorry for the shorter post. Today was the first day of my ski season and I decided to try out this app I got called SkiTracks. This app tracks your runs down the mountain and gives you data on it. This includes max speed, average speed, distance travelled, elevation lost and many other things. Since it is the start of the season the snow is not particularly soft. There is a lot of man-made snow and no powder. This makes for some fast skiing conditions.
It was opening day for Aspen Mountain and there were not to many people. There is a certain run called Spar Gulch which is groomed and somewhat steep. It is long so you get a while to build up your speed. Anyways I always love bombing down this run. Today I went down it like I have in past seasons but probably a little faster than normal because I wanted to see how fast the app said I went. At the base of the mountain I checked the app and I had gone 60.2 mph!! That amazed me. Now of course I was not going this fast for very long but still…60. My first thought was no way I am 5 foot 4 inches 110 pounds, I couldn’t go that fast. It turns out that the app is very accurate and I really did go that fast. The only problem is that since I can now see my speed I will constantly want to make it faster. I have a feeling this will eventually lead to a trip to the hospital.
Hopefully that does not happen because I would be pissed if I missed a ski season. I wish all of you great seasons and make them injury free. Oh and by the way, Happy Thanksgiving!! Tell us about any cool ski stories you have in the comment section.
