    Nat Geo list Best ski Towns

    Found this today and thought it would be a great way to stir-up Pugski a bit while we all (or at least most of us) wait for snow. If anybody knows "Places" it ought to be National Geographics. Here are their picks for best ski towns. Have been to most of the North American selections and agreed...

    Hannenkham Course Changes

    I have been watching some old video from Kitzbhuel in the 70's and 80's and the finish bump looks way bigger now than it was then.

    Lindsey Vonn trying again for Men's DH

    It appears the Lindsey Vonnnis again trying for the Men's DH at Lake Louise. Personally, I have no issue it with provided she races all DH's on the men's circuit for the season and can not race the women's. You either commit or you don't, can't pick and choose the easier races just to see if...
