    In the qualifier, every racer had one run on each course (red and blue) and their qualifying time was the combined time of those two runs (see the images below).  The racer with the fastest qualifying time got to choose which course they wanted in each final (1/8, 1/4, semi, small & big).

     

    Thanks, but that is not at all what I was questioning.

    Look at it the other way. You accept the course favours the red course. The Korean on blue is essentially a match for Kosir on red in spite of that bias. So Kosir is robbed when the race is awarded to the Korean?

    Yeah, I mentioned that on another board. I think if Lee had been on the red course, Lee probably would have beaten Kosir hands down.

    Yeah, @Kimo I thought so too. It was unbelievable close and Kosir was ahead until the very end. Its too bad the courses seemed bias for the red side too.

     

     

    Totally agree. I don't follow racing, but it seems to me that if one course is so biased, what's the point of racing? Hoping the racer on the obviously faster course will screw up? That's not the kind of racing I want to spend any of my time watching.

    Maybe Dave Winters or Sean Martin would like to weigh in on this.

    I get two screws in my left medial mallelous tomorrow. The bone is now officially displaced. Yay me. All the doctors agree I have low bone density. The thinking is that it's because of all the steroids that I was one after my craniotomies. We used dexamethasone to control my intracranial pressure for a long time.

    Hey Kimo, just wanted to say thanks again for your help at this years SES. Your Jeep was in better condition when you gave me a much needed ride from Buttermilk!! I will be in a Aircast boot for another 2-3 wks. (Doctors orders) How is your Leg?

    I'm going to see my doc tomorrow. We'll find out then. Maybe I should blame you for passing along your contagion to me during the ride over. :freak3:

    Bad news. Another one of our carving family was severely injured this early this morning as she was making first tracks out of Aspen. 99WJ was attacked by crazy jibber doe with a death wish running at 55mph and no regard to the skier code. The damage was severe to her forehead and grill and she lost her right eye in the confrontation. To insult to injury, the jibber doe crapped all over her. Luckily, she's in good spirits and still trucking. Please keep her in your thoughts and wish a speedy recovery for her.

    Mine was messed up. 4 or 5 pieces including a spiral fx. Plate and twelve screws. I was told to expect 4 months because of poor blood flow at the location of the fx. At three months, the spiral fx still hadn't started cortical bridging. After 11 months, I finally got the green light for riding SES. That was a fail. I sold back my ticket and cashed in my season pass via pass insurance. Still had fun at SES, though.

    Hope I am not offending anyone with real injuries but, this hurts. Really hurts.

    I'll still love snow, but for the first time in 30 years, I don't want to think about it.

    I will allow it because, aside from breaking my tibia, I only got one half run on my season pass and had to give away a 4pak. I think that hurt more than the tibia fracture.
