Battling the elements in Whistler
It's proving to be a struggle to run the speed events at our venue in Whistler. Unseasonable warm weather mixed with precipitation is causing delays in the schedule as course crews work around the clock to keep the course race ready. Just when it looks like we'll be getting a break with colder temperatures the fog rolls into the mid-mountain making it too dangerous to send racers. However, the weather forcast is looking favorable and I think we will start handing out Alpine Medals soon.


Down in the finish area photographers are hoping to get glimpses of racers skiing through so they can at least get some images to send out to thier agencies that day. Canon and Nikon both have camera repair and service centers set up at the media center here in Whistler and I think they are getting a lot of work drying out cameras and lenses!
