Doing an adult ski race camp this summer. My racing currently is in beer leagues.

Do you think my current Nordica Doberman SLR 170cm are serviceable for slalom training or would you recommended getting a 165cm masters /Non-FIS slalom ski?

Hi everyone! We are a team of researchers (and skiers) from Politecnico di Milano (Italy). We are working on a project to simplify the daily life of alpine ski coaches on the hill.

From our initial research, we keep seeing two major "time-killers":

1. Spending hours at night cutting and sorting clips on software.
2. Trying to explain a micro-error in body position at 60+ mph to a racer who is convinced they did it right.

We want to build something that solves real issues, not useless tech.

So, what setups are you currently using, and what do you hate most about them?

Thanks for your time and we hope to build something useful for you!

My girlfriend and I are planning on going to Killington over Thanksgiving for the race. She’s not a ski racing fan but I’m hoping to get her into watching it. But what I really want to ask is has anyone been to Killington for the races? What is there to do (besides the obvious) we are going to be there from Thursday until the last day of races.

I have a job opportunity in Edmonton, Alberta. It is not something I need to take, but I also wouldn’t oppose the move.

I have one remaining ski racer. He will be second-year U14 next season. I know it is a long drive from Edmonton to Jasper, and I skied Marmot quite a bit as a kid. I currently live in Ontario.

I did a quick google search and all I could come up with was the Jasper Ski Team, with programming only up to U14.

Are there other ski racing families here who live in Edmonton? Where do your kids train?

Thanks!

I like Spyder/Kappa better than North Face.

Wondering if anyone has experience with US/Canada focused ski camp FIS type for 16 year old? Just curious what options people would recommend and any lessons with optimal duration and going alone or with parents. I realize very individual results just gathering options, thanks!
