I hope Men's Day is experiencing different weather conditions than I'm seeing outside my office window.  In any event, here is a link to an article with a nice description of the mechanics of a carved turn.  Note references to equal edge angles and parallel lower legs.  This is not, of course, to say that you can or should make a perfect carved turn in every situation.  

And since I'm sending this anyway,

How to Start (Another) Fight

​

Here is more to dwell on.  By the way, those of you who, like me, normally work a five day week, will be distressed to know how many of your competitors are emulating their children and skiing Fridays.  (I was at the Club with a client group, but many were clearly seeking that extra edge.)

Time flies when you're having fun!  Here is this week's news.

Here's the second edition for this weekend.

GDHL Results

I've attached the results in case you didn't get them.  (Race 3 Individual and Team and Race 4 Individual and Team)  There are a couple of unexplained DNS's (my wife and my teammate) so there are changes to come.  

I realize that I forgot to commend Margaret Isberg for her most successful leadership of the inaugural Greg Lee event last Friday.

In the meantime, two new items of interest have arrived.  [Bode Miller video and a couple of good jokes]
