Watching while working. Thanks for the link.
Imagine your job is to ski in after every race and smooth out the snow.
Some guys have all the luck.
I’m an ex-racer. I did course slipping for World Cups and the 2002 Olympics. It’s not as fun or sexy as it sounds.
Oh I didn’t think it was fun or sexy.
I’m a ski racing team parent for two kids in the early 2000’s. I did this job and I wasn’t great fun but the worst job I had was gate keeping, I nealy froze to death on two races, one a Brighton and another at Snow Basin. Also I had a couple of coach challenges that were pretty heated, I’m finaly like F this give every kid a trouphy I don’t care anymore.
That being said, the training my daughters got from the race teams have made them very incredible skiers, and I really apprciate their time with their team.
That’s crazy, and I’m sorry that happened. I can’t believe a coach would be that heated – gatekeeping is not the most difficult judgment call in the world. I mean, did both tips and both boots go through the gate, or didn’t they? I can’t recall ever seeing one of my coaches get heated about a DSQ. That’s bonkers.
Podium for the first women's slalom at Snowbird!
