Admin, can you change the name of the thread to Hannah Soar Thread
Re: Hannah Soar - Hometown Hero
Really? I think your current subject is better. Putting “Thread” in the subject is kind of redundant, no?180 wrote:Admin, can you change the name of the thread to Hannah Soar Thread
Never argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level, then overwhelm you with their experience.

Re: Hannah Soar - Hometown Hero
I can recall go to the womens world cup at Waterville Valley years ago. There might of been 300 people watching at the finish line. Tamara Makinney raced.

Re: 2023 Freestyle Moguls WC
My understanding is you cannot have two world cup level events in two different disciplines in the same yr.newpylong1 wrote: ↑Dec 2nd, '23, 21:03 Yes I don't think this would have anywhere near the impact as the alpine WC does. OL is tailor made for an event like that, it would be epic. Especially if the Fiddle gets filled in as planned to offer more terrain.
Waterville somehow got the freestyle mogul World Cup back and that venue (Bobby's Run) is nowhere near as good as the OL setup.
Killington has the Thanksgiving women's GS and SL and will as they just agreed to hosting this event for the next three yrs. Before that there was talk to hosting a WC event here and it was to be on Highline. You'd have to think all major events will be on the basin side with the new lodge and future village.
Thus, Killington was passed for Waterville Valley who will have it in Jan 2024 and Jan 2025.
Friday Jan 25 is men's and woman's singles finals. I don't know if qualifiers are the Thursday before or on Friday the 25th
Saturday Jan 26 is duals.
We went for US Nationals last year. It was a good time. I'd have to guess with this being a world cup event there will more of everything. I'm guessing the bear mountain crowd will be there.

Re: 2023 Freestyle Moguls WC
Careful what you wish for I guess. Most times those competition courses/trails are closed to the public except for the last cple weeks of the season after training is complete.
I cant saw ive ever seen runs like champion in deer valley and lower wilderness at Whiteface open to the public. I'd have to imagine lower Bobby's run at waterville won't be open to the public until much after the competition.

Re: 2023 Freestyle Moguls WC
sounds like they've committed to another 3 yrs. john cummings loves the 2 1/2 hrs of network coverage his resort gets every thanksgiving weekend. mikaela is the goat and an international superstar who brings lots of eyes to whatever she does. her sphere of interest extends outside the world of skiing including appearances on the tonight and today shows and as long as she keeps going, think we'll keep doing it. and while i'm a big hannah fan and appreciate what those kids do, there no way the WC mogul competition comes close to the women's WC alpine in terms of exposure.

Re: 2023 Freestyle Moguls WC
This was last year's course, or what was let of it, on Bobby's mid April last season, closing weekend. I think it opened shortly after the event, as it was late in the season.ozzy wrote: ↑Dec 4th, '23, 17:40Careful what you wish for I guess.

Re: 2023 Freestyle Moguls WC
And John Cummings budget pays for it all. None of it comes out of Killington budget.skiadikt wrote: ↑Dec 4th, '23, 19:05sounds like they've committed to another 3 yrs. john cummings loves the 2 1/2 hrs of network coverage his resort gets every thanksgiving weekend. mikaela is the goat and an international superstar who brings lots of eyes to whatever she does. her sphere of interest extends outside the world of skiing including appearances on the tonight and today shows and as long as she keeps going, think we'll keep doing it. and while i'm a big hannah fan and appreciate what those kids do, there no way the WC mogul competition comes close to the women's WC alpine in terms of exposure.
Re: Hannah Soar - Hometown Hero
If it all comes out of John Cummings budget, and none comes out of Killington's budget, then why does the rest of the mountain suffer when it comes to snowmaking and open terrain?

However, we almost always watch a replay, vice the live stream. Only downside to this is NOT learning the results beforehand !

Re: Hannah Soar - Hometown Hero
Mikaela may be in a league of her own, but on the hometown scale nobody beats Hannah.
The last time I saw Hannah was on Memorial Day. It seemed like every time I turned my head, she was standing next to me on Superstar. Walking to my car at the end of the day, I found myself strolling along with her, and she complimented my Mets tie dye shirt.
I doubt I will ever end a season on a more perfect note.
