Who would have thought that the "Chinese Downhill" would become an Olympic Gold Medal Sport. I guess Daron Rahlves has a shot at it.

Whiteface had a FIS Skier Cross World Cup Tour competition for the first time on MLK weekend this past season. It was great to watch. I got lucky and timed the final with my ride up on the chairlift next to the course. I got to see it from a bird's eye view.

That view must have been nice. It was like the yellow chair at Sundown during the Big Air Comp at Bump or Bust III.

That sport looks cool. I zipped the course at Bromley a few times this year.
