Great webcast. But you can tell the guys who run it all use the metric system. Their graphic for Will Asher has been saying all year that he's 5'12"

 

Only issue with webcast that's confusing at first is when they flash up an ad when showing line length and it's an ad for a different brand ski than the skier is on.

I really thought there were some awesome results in every event. The 3 way run off for Men's Slalom was phenomenal. Also, men's jumping saw several new PBs and great jumps in the high 220s and 230s along with 2 new members to the 230 club. I was really impressed and when Kyle Eade reminded all of us that Freddy Krueger started competing in pro events in 1995 - that was 25 years ago! He's 45 yrs old and put out a 237 this weekend and a 238 earlier this year - the furthest jumps of anyone all season. 25 years of jumping at that elite level is just unreal!
