These 2 could not care less- they lugged their own Panini press into to lodge to work on the perfect sandwich
Is there a time for that on Fri one can watch? I assume you'd be allowed to.
SMHI know them ... the guy in the blue shirt is French so he takes his food very seriously. And it smells fantastic. They (and I) have kids in a race camp this week.
FYI: the open window for the controlled free ski starts at 9:30am on Friday, with no determined end time (though the press conference is at 4:45pm and it's dusk then, so they should be off the hill by 3:30 at the latest). I'm sure each athlete will take at least one controlled free ski run on Superstar, then spend any remaining skiing time on Skye Lark, where gates will be set for teams that opt for some armor time.
For those who don't know: a controlled free ski involves crew of race officials and/or coaches on the hill, allowing the racers down the hill one at a time with fairly consistent spacing between each one. That way, the possibility for collisions is low, and the quality of skiing (and viewing) is high.
I am up here today and you cant get anywhere near the race hill.Someone please get some vid!!!
