Bob, \u00c2\u00a0that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an excellent and very understandable analysis of the conditions and the evolution of alpine technical racing.<\/p>\n
Having spent a fair amount of time in the Chinese ski resorts in the same general region that these events are being held, I can confirm the snow is very different.<\/p>\n
It can be fun, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very aggressive and takes a shift in mindset and expectations. \u00c2\u00a0When coaching there, shifting the expectation of feel and adapting has been the first thing I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve worked on.<\/p>\n
Younger American athletes, especially from the west, have to shift in a similar manner when first competing in Europe. However, to a lesser degree.<\/p>\n

Yes, yes, all of this. I was an alpine racer for 20+ years growing up with my Dad as a coach at CVA during Bode\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s day there and myself a coach at Whiteface when Mikaela was at Burke.<\/p>\n
One of the hardest things about Mikaela\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s talent is that she makes the impossible look so easy. Her natural feel for the snow and hard work is unimaginable to people in the sport. With Bode and Lindsey you could SEE the fight. The hard grunt out of the start gate, the barely holding on and then saving it. But with Mikaela, it all just glides.<\/p>\n
I think this is why America finds it so hard to understand when she is human.<\/p>\n

I was sitting in a Montana poker game and struck up a conversation with an older gentlemen wearing a red “Hell yeah we’re pissed” cap. He wanted to know where my family was from and I said Germany. Without missing a beat he said, “I like Germans, they are good people. I was talking with a friend of mine whose family is from Germany and he told me “We may not have got the Jews the last time, but we’ll get ’em next time.” I swallowed and said, “Um, my wife is Jewish.” He just looked blankly at me.<\/p>\n

The only people whining about you writing about politics – the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Stay in your lane, Old Man!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d-ers are the ones whose ignorance and selfishness you expose. Probably more of the latter, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d guess. \u00c2\u00a0True Reactionaries, who are being made to feel uncomfortable, who keep staring at the same old spot for their missing cheese. Self-imposed hunger.<\/p>\n
Pretty simple.<\/p>\n
