THE KANDAHAR!!

Banner day in France....The skies were clear, the temps were pleasantly just bellow freezing, and the snow was fast!  We had an amazing day at the Kandahar Downhill!  Didier Cuche proved once again that he is still ridiculously fast in DH, winning yet another downhill this season!  Doninik Paris of Italy showed some  young speed talent, and the rest is Austraia...not much to say there.  I have a new level of respect for these guys after seeing it live, but WOW are they flying.  After the four forerunners, the first WC racer that went by looked, like he was going at least 40mph faster than the forerunners.  There was a big jump on the top of the course where we were standing, and he went like 15 or 20 feet further!!! IT WAS CRAZZYY!!  Thats all I have time for now, but here is a sweet shot from the top of the course!  Driving to Thyon today!!
