snowmatic Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 We will see again an original FIS single-run parallel-slalom Saturday December 19. Qualification runs are at 2pm - 4pm CET Finals are hold on flood light 6pm - 7:15pm CET Livecam showing the slope you can find here: http://cortinacube.it/webcam/precfaloria.jpg And again, the mountains there are dry, no snow at all, like all the mountains of southern part of the Alps. Pure man-made ice particle helps to hold the race. Europacup (EC) at Rogla (Slovenia) same weekend is cancelled too, due the lack of snow. Like weather preview says, the Alps will get no more snow until end of the Year - we are here on Global warming because of to much pollution of 2 Global big players. Well I think this doesn't affect to America, maybe even not to California! So we will see if PSL of Bad Gastein (Austria) Januray 8./9. can be hold or not. There are mountains with snow, e.g. for FIS race 4x Giantslalom at Dizin (Iran) Januray 3./4. Maybe Snowboard-Worldcup should switch to Iran mountains.

snowmatic Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Strike back of Italian riders! Historic triumph, like never before: triple victory for Italian men and 1 woman on podium too. After the disaster of Italian riders in Carezza, they come now with 5 man riders in 6 top rankings. Even on qualification run thy had been on top. Maybe the highness of course does affect. We didn't see for a long time a FIS PAR race at that mid-high altitude of 7350 ft. +++++ Cortina d'Ampezzo results: Women: 1st Kummer Patricia (Switzerland) 2nd Ochner Nadya (Italy) 3rd Loch Cheyenne (Germany) Kummer is back, her first podium after Sochi Olympics. She was dominating before all the races. Last season something was wrong, she was trained by the Swiss team coach. Before on the good time, she had a personal snowboard coach. This season she is coming back again with a personal coach on snow - and she ride fast and strong again. Men: 1st Mick Christoph (Italy) (Black-Pearl Snowboard) 2nd Fischnaller Roland (Italy) 3rd Felicetti Mirko (Italy) Thats the final table. They had inconsistence of data at live-timing, so be carefull! Mick Christoph seems to be local, he comes from Bolzano. So podium was catch back from riders of classic wintersport nations. +++++ There was an US rider on 1/8th final: Aaron Muss (USA) vs. Aaron March (Italy) Aaron Muss was ranked finaly as 11th. +++++ How original FIS single run format for a duel can affect to the race? See here: The blue course was obviously faster then the red one on 1/8th finals. After 3 women did win the heat on blue course, the rotation of choosing course take the way. The rider who was faster than the other one in qualification runs, can choose the course he like to ride of the heat. Even she/he can change the course short time before start. All the man did it too, it was amazing how many time it was blinking/switching riders position on live-timing table before they start.

Beckmann AG Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Kummer is back, her first podium after Sochi Olympics. She was dominating before all the races. Last season something was wrong, she was trained by the Swiss team coach. Before on the good time, she had a personal snowboard coach. This season she is coming back again with a personal coach on snow - and she ride fast and strong again. Any theories as to what each coach was doing to affect her riding?
