Swiss Pro Slalom

[Stevie Boy]

Who would you back to Win! this event, Will Asher is in the groove and it's in his backyard, Freddie Winter said to be Skiing with intent, then there is Nate Smith varied reports, Thomas Degasperi whats his form + many others that have a high bouy count and may cause an upset.

Is there anybody going to come out of the darkness and surprise us ?

Your Thoughts

[Horton]

I would bet money on Nate but I will cheer for an underdog. How about @adamhcaldwell? :smile:

[art90notch]

I'm with @Horton with my money being on Nate.. As far as a surprise, @aupatking and I watched a Thursday night tournament at Swiss 3-4 weeks ago and watched Thibaut Dailland take a lot of those guys out..

[303Skier]

Who won it last year? :)

[Horton]

@303Skier i think @FWinter won last year. Fred is the one skier Nate is semi worried about.

[rockdog]

I think gates are the one thing Nate worries about.

[Freddie Winter]

It's going to be a fun tournament. Let's hope gates don't play a part. So bloody painful for the viewer.

[Horton]

@rockdog I believe @FWinter is the one thing Nate worries about

[wskier]

I don't think Nate's to worried just watch the barefoot video. Some people have a special talent. If Nate's on he wins. But we all don't ski the same everyday. He's about the closest to the LaPoints and Mapples .

[Ralph Lee]

I personally like watching pros miss their gates and get disqualified, it makes an event more suspenseful

[Stevie Boy]

As far as Ski lakes go, it skis very well indeed, it's a great opportunity for Pros to show what they can do, no excuses here Guy's lets see what you have got.

[chris55]

I put some bitcoins on Will Asher, he is back on the move strong

[chris55]

By the way someone knows if it will be a online link to watch it ?

[AdamCord]

@Horton @adamhcaldwell is currently chained to the ski press where he is not allowed to leave until all Denali orders are filled. We are sending @CaleBurdick though, who has been crushing 39s in a drysuit in Michigan all month.

[Wish]

If there is a under dog to bet on, my money is on Cale. I've seen video of the baggy dry suit 39s.

[MISkier]

For those wondering, our water temp has been wavering between the upper 40s and mid 50s. I am curious as to how running 39 in that will translate to the magic water of Florida.

[Jody_Seal]

Under dog: Danny Odvarko and past Masters winner Jon Travers Both Have the potential to turn it up on game day.

[ozski]

Huh, is Parish skiing?

[Horton]

@ozski he is not on the list

 

I know he had a shoulder injury earlier this year. Maybe it is still an issue. Just a guess.

[303Skier]

Nice lineup! Will be a great tournament B)

[Orlando76]

Is it really on Sunday, Mothers Day?!! I went last year but pretty certain I can't go this year being its my wife's first Mothers Day. Disappointed. Sure Would like to see my boys Matteo, Freddie and Pigozzi ski.

[Orlando76]

Is there a qualifying set on Saturday?

[One_Ski]

@Orlando76 - She's your wife, not your mother. Tell her to get over it ;0)

[Stathis Ventouris]

I will put my money on Freddie Winter

 

[Orlando76]

@One_Ski she's also one of my excellent drivers. I'll have to make Sunday all about her.

[Than_Bogan]

I think I would "bet the streak" and put my money on Freddie.

 

I will also be rooting for Freddie, but even a little more for Cale.

 

I may have mentioned that slalom needs some Heels. There's no one that it's any fun to root against. All just so darn likable. Sheesh. Stop that.

[Wish]

And so nice to each other. Does smack talk even exist in this current crop of athletes?

[Bill22]

@Orlando76 you should take her on a picnic at the lake

[PhilSymo]

@FWinter to win. Fact. End of thread.

[skierjp]

Sunday tournament only

[Wish]

[Orlando76]

Is it just me or did ZO ramp up twice as hard when Freddie was skiing than with anybody else?

[303Skier]

Well that's a teaser!

[Ralph Lee]

Looked like Freddie might of been at 41?

[Wish]

Does anyone have the schedule. I might sneak down if it starts early. See some prelim stuff. Couldn't find any info..

[wolfgang]

@Orlando76 , I heard it ramp up for Freddy too. I wonder which ZO setting he's using...he sure seems to be working the engine harder than the others

Headed down for a few hours. Beautiful day!!!!

[Wish]

Made it. Super Chicken ball 4. We are less the 20' from ball 4...possible splash zone for sure depending on the skier. Good seats.

 

[Wish]

Amazing drone rig following skiers. It's incredably steady and straight in flight. Not sure why I'm so impressed but it is.

 

 

[jcamp]

I missed Whitney and Regina. Anyone know their first round scores?

[Wish]

Whitney 3@39

Regina 1@41

Conditions are...meh ;)

 

 

[wskier]

Whitney 3@ 39 Regina 1@41

[skidawg]

Is webcast up? I can't seem to get it

[Razorskier1]

I got the women's webcast. Has men's started yet?

 

 

[Wish]

Mens started 4 skiers in.

[Horton]

i just fixed the stream on the front page

[Wish]

Was going to post so you could put a face with with me but the photographer feels I should remain anonymous...his thumb. Probably for the best as it would take away from Cale.

 

[Razorskier1]

So do all skiers ski two rounds and then cut to 8 or only 8 in round 2?

[Sledgehammer]

Top 8 scores from both rounds advance into finals.
