i set the practice GS course on Saturday, and the GS course today... as soon as we heard about the attempt on the practice set for slalom, we changed it to make it a little more rideable...
I don't agree with people busting on a practice course though.. The coach who set that course stuck her neck out, got up earlier than everyone else, and set a course in an attempt to help out alpine racing...
we (the more experienced coaches) helped her out by changing it a little to make it work better...
we will "kill the sport" by criticizing and not making an effort to help out those who are trying to make a differerence.
I am not interested in starting a p**sing match but feel the need to stick up for a coach that was trying.
my humble, knowledgeable two cents on the issue....
