They're going to have to change the rules for it to happen in GS. Max 65mm waist width. I guess it could happen in SL, but ... it's really not going to be faster.

Not debating climate change, but it’s finals. More or less always spring conditions in finals.

Because of the over 50 temperatures I thought the second run of this race would be one of those days where the first run leaders struggle and fade away in the second run and the winner would be whoever survived the war of attrition, but instead it was incredibly exciting with all the final racers putting in really strong performances. For me the most exciting mens SL of the season
Ah... good point. I was kind of thinking we were done! I guess I jumped the gun.

I know I missed a couple races completely. A few of those ”What will the winners time be?” questions, I thought I made a guess & then found out after that I didn’t. Still I did better in the Podium picker than the Predictor challenge. Way too much research needed to do well there. I think next season I will just do the Podium Picker.
I would b
I would be really happy if they did away with the winner's time. It is just a total guess most of the time and more luck than anything else. Use a different tie breaker like most correctly chosen winners or something.
Totally agree with this. The podium picker was exactly what I thought it should be, except for the time guessing.

Instead of the weird winner’s time question, I would like to see a bonus system more closely aligned with the idea of picking the podium finishers, like if you pick 1 2 3 in the correct order you get 300 bonus points, if you pick 1 2 you get 250, 200 points for picking the winner and 50 points for each pick who actually finishes on the podium, or whatever the actual number of points, plus maybe a bonus when it’s the first podium of the career for one of your picks or it’s someone outside the top seed. This would probably not help me, but it would be better imo.

This article cannot be found in English, but they apparently had a wild party, drinking from the globe with straws, and even temporarily lost track of its whereabouts. From google translate
The party continued until three in the morning
It lasted until around three in the morning, which in Feller's opinion was "not that long," as he explains with a smile.
The freshly won slalom globe was quickly converted into a drinking cup and one or two spirits were consumed from it using long straws.
“I had to clean it, even though we didn’t know where it was at first,” Feller says, looking back on the wild party night where he hoped “perhaps not so many people would attend” because of his new short hairstyle "To be recognized by people."
“Do you actually know that your globe is in bed with us?”
In fact, he almost lost his globe, but it was ultimately thanks to his physiotherapists that it didn't happen that way.
“Luckily they were paying attention,” says Feller, thanking them. One of his physios, in whose room the party took place, called him in the morning and said: "Do you actually know that your globe is in our bed?" he says with a laugh.
Actually, Feller's media representative should have taken the globe with him, but that didn't work. “Luckily they (the physios, note) informed me in time,” said the slalom ace.

Yeah, Wednesday's training started at 9am. Forecast has improved a bit (less rain) but it's not cooling off overnight, until Saturday night, so Sunday's DH looks good. There's even a chance they could postpone a Fri/Sat race to Monday.
@James officially to preserve course for 4 races in next few days on same course. And as you need (at least) one DH training to run course, all is good. Otherwise yes also too warm. Weather report for next few days is +3c as lowest during night and up to +16c during day... with no clear sky (even rain tomorrow), it means no freezing so snow will be complete shit, and salting DH course is pretty demanding thing.
