Going Downhill

Wendy and Shelley discuss spring conditions in Austria for tech week. Who had a fairy tale finish?  Wendy finally admits to abandoning Shelley with a famous Austrian in the bloopers. 

Wendy and Shelley look at all the standings, the course and results in Sweden...maybe there's a few opinions being thrown out there. The men weren't racing but there is confirmation that a certain someone will be back next winter! 

Whose dad got kicked off the hill? Should the race have gone off in Norway with that viz? How much ice is too much ice in Aspen?

Wendy and Shelley discuss the rather flat course in Tahoe, USA. The women are cancelled due to snow and Shelley explains the rules of racing and what a Ref does on a jury because some coaches are unaware of the job as she found out. 

Gut surpasses the Shiff and the boys are back in Norway where historically Canada has a good time! 

Wendy and Shelley go over the women's races and overall shot at the globes...the men..is a certain Norwegian a whiner??? 

A short week of racing leaves Wendy and Shelley free to discuss more injuries and what they think FIS should do with venues. 

After a down pour of rain and results for the men, Wendy and Shelley discuss the injuries in Cortina. Why and how are they happening at such a rate? So many athletes are getting injured...is this unexpected? 

Wendy and Shelley agree about younger athletes on the tour. Should a 16 year old race World Cup? Then we get into the Strief where the results were a little all over the map but not compared to the DNFs in the slalom. 

Wendy and Shelley discuss and have opinions about Wengen, the horrific crashes, and the amount of races. Shelley hates being right in this case. The Women's races had some moments of excitement and they ladies disagree about the course. 

Wendy and a Shelley with a cold discuss a Canadian win by Val Grenier in Slovenia while mangling a few name and they both love the terrain in Adelboden, SUI. 

Wendy and Shelley explain why coaches should not sleep with their athletes and also go over some night slalom pre-xmas racing! Dave Ryding has some fans with our coaches for sure!

 Sorry about the late post all...holiday interference :) 

A long episode where there are a ton of races to catch up on. The men race 5 days in a row with mostly surprising results but also some unsurprising winners in Italy.  While the women face a technically challenging course and a super G with an almost 50% DNF rate that made things exciting. Wendy saves a story for the end about being saved by an Italian stranger and Shelley tries her best not to confuse results. 

Wendy and Shelley look at a the Men racing in Val D'Isere for a day and how the retirements affect the young guns that are pushing into the top 30. Meanwhile the Women race a relatively boring track in mediocre conditions in St. Moritz until it gets cancelled.

BONJOUR from Mt. Temblant! There they Wendy and Shelley discuss the men briefly not running and give their analysis with athlete interviews for the exciting races in Quebec! 

Shelley and a pantless Wendy analyze the races in Killington...Were there any big surprises? Not really. But the set differences between the SL runs made for interesting watching as Vlohva and Shiffrin battle it out (like always). 

Shelley is excited for #GBR #GreatBritain for the first time ever and Wendy talks about the security as the race was delayed for climate activists in the finish. The women are blown off of the Glacier in Zermatt and Shelley lectures Wendy in the bonus content with lots of swears. 

Wendy and Shelley discuss what Zermatt is like and what they know about the country of Finland. Who is attacking from the back and why we have chin bars on SL helmets. 

Wendy and Shelley are back to take a look at the WC season opener in Sölden! The women rocked it and the men were blown away.....
