Snow Cup at the Bird

[David]

Big Weekend for ht eend of the season. The 65th running of the Snow Cup! We had several folks from the US team skiing and the points were pretty good. Dont ask how hte points work. points are based on your time realtive to the best competators that finish. Mickey was in the youngest age group alowed.

She skied Friday and SAturday on the old race course (primrose path) nad it's long na dsteep so lots of fun to ski nad watch. Mickey was in 7th after the first race and in the clinic after the second race. she landed hard na dwent over the handlebars and through a gate, breaking her hand on the way through the gate. I didn't see it from my vantage point, just the aftermath.

Deirdre got to run the course before the racers (forerunning) and she did great.

took a bunch of pix

Mickey standing on it!

Deirdre Forerunning the second race. pretty steep

She was Pete Rose coming into Third Base, sliding about 60 feet on her stomach

Not very happy about the whole thing. broken fifth metacarpal (little finger bone in her hand.

The next day was a little better (finished 2nd in her age group)

Looks like you had a pretty eventful weekend! Nice pictures of the girls on the mountain, Michaela looks like she sure gets some speed on. Too bad about the broken finger but at least the skis are in one piece this time.... Good on you girls!
