Ski Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 That's a great find, Bob (and Toast). I like the quote from the French guy: "If there was no racing taking place, I don't think I'd be skiing in the Poconos." And even though it would be classified as a Super G instead of a DH (there were no SG's back then) it's pretty amazing how they only ran with single netting. It's lucky nobody died, especially with all the pre-releases going on in the one right hand turn with trees on the left. It would be sick it they had a downhill on Switchback...I'd t$$ty F@ck that course.. If they held SG's and DH's in the Poconos, you'd be uber famous by now, Doug. Metzy would never touch you on a speed course, unless a meteor hit you. j/k about the last part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think my mom had that blue and white suit at 4:38.... which I then inherited for a few seasons. Nice find. Reminds me when my parents used to do ASRA.. which meant a trip up to Killington for the finals every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some of the guys are still wearing the same suits, just not zipping them shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
