Read Carefully Please!

Lots of information to absorb, including changes to the weekend's schedule.   The final GDHL race (SL) has been moved from Sunday morning on Venture to Sunday afternoon on Comet.  Start is at 1:00, with inspection from about 12:15 to 12:40.  Bibs will be collected at the finish line, failing which you will need to return yours to the race office on pain of the pecuniary penalty to which you agreed as a term of registration.  As a result of the race time change, Sunday's training will be held as usual at 9:30 am, on Big John, rather than being rescheduled to Saturday.  Also on deck for the weekend:

• The Track 3 Friends & Family Ski Day is Friday.  Details are here.

• Friday training is SL on Birches.  Contact Laurel to register.

• Saturday training is SL on Venture at 9:30.  Timing will be set up both Saturday and Sunday.  Remember to check in with the coaches by radio before each run.

• Technical training is at 9:30 on each of Saturday and Sunday.  Meet at the National chair.

• The fourth Interclub race is SL at Caledon on Saturday afternoon.  Contact Taylor if you're interested.  Races at Caledon have often been an opportunity to get your first start on the team.

GDHL Closing Dinner and Other Fun

Plans are quickly coming together for the annual GDHL awards dinner on Saturday, 1 March in the Base Lodge.  (Note that Club championships medals will be presented separately after the races.)  Cocktails are at 6 and dinner is at 7.  New features this year include a dance band for apres-awards festivities and BYO wine arrangements.  You can bring your own wine and pay a corkage fee of $10 per bottle.  This can most elegantly be done when requesting glasses and the use of a cork screw at the bar.  BYOW is a generous accommodation from our caterer, so let's play by the rules!  Anyone found drinking from a broken-necked bottle will be dealt with harshly.  Public humiliation will be the least of it, given our esteemed chairman's avid endorsement of this program.  Ticket sales will begin shortly at the front desk and online.  Tickets are $45 each, or $30 for GDHL racers under 30 and one under 30 guest each.

Remember also to sign up for the Athletic Fundraiser on 22 February, and click here to bid on the GDHL's contribution to the online silent auction, among other things.

If you're worried about keeping in top racing form between the Club championships and the final Interclub race, the Peaks will be holding their traditional Super G on Friday, 7 March.  Details will be available shortly.

And this just in - AOA is presenting a two day masters' camp at Osler on 26 and 27 February.  One day of SL and one of GS, with morning, afternoon and video sessions.  Coaches will be Jacques Reid and Scott Barrett.  Registration will be available on the AOA website beginning on 18 February.  Jacques can provide more details in the interim.

A Quick Diversion

Just to introduce a splash of colour into an otherwise text-heavy narrative, here's someone's take on difficult conditions on the Sochi mogul course.

Results and Standings

Results of Sunday's GS on Big John are here.  Alec Libert again won handily, with Ian Malcolm edging out Scott McLorie by two hundies for second, followed by Doug Macmillan and Trevor Jackson.  JF Courville almost halved his 24th ranking to finish tied with Trent Winstone for 13th, while Brook Dyson jumped from 33rd ranking to 16th.  Rob Cassels joined the Rossi Masters users, at least temporarily, to record a season's best 29th, while Brittany Stainer was the leading lady in 38th, 0.01 ahead of Lisa Warll.  Familiar faces among the climbers included Rob Bruce (42nd from 67th rank), Jamie Coulter (45th from 82) and Brad McMullen (46th from 103), while Tory McKillop, Brad Sproule and Anne Mathers improved on their rankings by 31, 30 and 25 places, respectively.

You will have observed that our new database means that the final results will no longer be a closely guarded secret up to the final dinner, but the upside is the chance to readily analyze who needs to do what to whom going into the final race.  Alec Libert's lead in the individual overall standings remains unassailable with a perfect 464 points from his best four races.  Ian Malcolm is at 457 and would reach 460 with a win Sunday.  Things are very tight behind them, with Scott McLorie and Greg Cavers tied at 453, followed by Doug Macmillan at 452.  Scott is presently counting a 6th, so he could reach 458 with a win.  Greg's max is 457, while Doug could also get to 458.  Special mention in next week's news to anyone who figures out what's needed for a four way tie for second!  

In the women's race, Brittany Stainer has a seemingly comfortable 39 point lead, but Leslie Morgan could improve her score by precisely 39 points with a win, so who knows?  Brittany needs to finish 34th to get the one point needed to assure overall victory.

And finally, who's in the money for the teams?  Landslide, on the strength of over-achievement from Jamie Coulter, Brad McMullen and others, has an apparent lock on first with a lead of almost 300 points.  Millennium has a 29 point cushion in second place and has two racers who have only three finishes, so they can each drop their current 10 point penalties by showing up Sunday.  Conversely, Venture in third has had almost perfect attendance all season and its members will have to lay down some solid runs to defend slim leads over National, which is carrying one 10 point penalty, and Funnel.  Keep your calculators ready!

Ms. Manners

I have written a bit recently about GDHL not taking itself too seriously, but not tolerating abuse of race crew and others.  Time for a bit more.  We have recognized that, on the race course, GDHL hasn't ever had a formal structure of officiating.  Our course setter, Jacques Reid, has now accepted responsibility for making decisions concerning course safety if conditions are difficult and generally acting as the senior race official.  It has also been noted that some racers are not inspecting the course efficiently, by making numerous passes, stopping to socialize on the way down or showing up late.  Sometimes extra slipping is welcome if there is a lot of snow to clear, but more often it is best to clear the course and let the Coyotes do the final preparation.  Absent unusual circumstances, we will close inspection 20 minutes before the race start. Before then, consider joining Shelley Johnston or one of the other coaches on the course for a single thoughtful inspection.

And finally, if all of the wisdom you thought you absorbed during inspection and training doesn't stick with you and you're disappointed with your run or some part of it, remember that we're a family club.  I recall seeing a mother in the finish area struggling to explain some particularly colourful self-reproach to her stripling.  These episodes are best eliminated, and egregious examples may require the miscreant to explain herself to our chairman.

Self-Improvement / Live in Hope

Just as I was despairing of some content for this area, along came three pieces from the New York Times regarding Ted Ligety.  Click here for an article about Ligety as a late bloomer, among other things.   Click here for a neat scroll-through video compilation concerning Ted's technique.  And here are some pictures he's taken of life on the road.

One Last Diversion

A man was stopped by the police around 2 AM and asked where he was going at that time of night.  The man replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as the dangers of smoking, and staying out late." The officer then asked, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"  The man replied, "That would be my wife."

See you on the hill!

• Gate training is GS at 9:30 AM on each of Saturday and Sunday.  The sessions will include timing, so bring your ChronoSplit watches if you have them as the sessions continue to build towards more race simulation and emphasis on quality rather than quantity of runs.  Remember also to use the radio at the top of the course to check in with coaches.
• Technical training is at 9:30 AM on each of Saturday and Sunday, meet at the National chair
• The next of the new technical free ski / gateless training sessions is on Saturday from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.  These are freeing skiing sessions with Jacques Reid, using personalized drills with a technical focus aimed at improving your skiing in gates.  Contact Laurel to register.  Participation is limited. 
• The penultimate GDHL race is a GS on Big John and starts at 1:00 PM on Sunday.  Inspection is from approximately 12:15 PM to 12:40 PM. 
• Looking a little bit ahead, the Track 3 Family and Friends Ski Day is on Friday, 14 February.  Click here for details and registration.

• Soon after that comes the Athletics Fundraiser, on Saturday, 22 February.  GDHL is contributing a cool collection of goodies for auction, consisting of registration for GDHL and Saturday 9 week gate training in 2014, a private lesson with Jacques Reid and a race tune from Squires.
• And looking a little farther ahead, the GDHL closing dinner and awards presentation is on Saturday, 1 March (frighteningly soon) and our outstanding team of social co-ordinators is planning another great event.  International themed food stations, new after dinner activities and more - full details soon, save the date in the interim!

A Changing of the Guard

Last Sunday's long(ish) SL led to Alec Libert's fourth bullet in four GDHL starts.  As we count only four races of seven for the overall standings, Alec has amassed an unassailable lead, unseating reigning champ Greg Cavers with a fine display of skill and athleticism.

Alec Libert and Greg Cavers

Results are here.  Here is some video (and audio) of Alec's winning run.  And here is video of Alec training on the bottom part of Landslide.  The training video was shot by another skier alongside Alec,   Jacques likes Alec's "spine angle" of less than 90 degrees to the slope that he achieves by flexing at the waist and rounding his shoulders forward.

As for the rest of us, Greg Cavers was second with a comfortable margin over Doug Macmillan, Scott McLorie and Dave Raymond.  Doug Jarvis recorded his first top 10 of the season, while Ian Latimer continued his tradition of strong SL results, jumping to 12th from his 26 ranking.  Brittany Stainer won the women's division with a GDHL personal best 16th place, followed at a distance by Leslie Morgan and Lisa Warll.  Chris Clark, Glenn McKay, Jamie Coulter, Mack Barford and Will Andrew all had big jumps to finish in 26th through 30th from their rankings of 47, 45, 82, 58 and 69, respectively, while (a bit) further back, Rob Bruce, Brad McMullen and Daina Dunlop were big movers.  Forerunners Norman Struthers and Rowan Darlison comfortably beat their progenitors.  

On a darker note, the committee has noted with concern that this year's endurance SL was about 20 seconds shorter than last year's event, and will be pressing for a longer challenge next year.

And note that our results database is providing overall standings complete with year end adjustments as needed to give people four results.  Team Landslide has a comfortable lead despite presently incurring 20 points in adjustment penalties, while things are tight between Millennium, Venture and Funnel for the rest of the positions in the money.

Fashion News Returns

Shelley Johnston has rolled into town with a big collection of what is ostensibly Belgian World Cup team outfits.  A big advantage of being on a small team is that you can attach a flag to your own fashionable attire and it becomes teamware.  See below for Saturday's innovative Top Gun outfit.

Take That Tome Cruise!

Meanwhile, reigning fashionista Carrie Grinter-Lenauskas doesn't appear to be getting over-excited by the challenger.  As usual, she sports Spyder and scores high on technical merit for identifying the components as the Hottie jacket and Sharp Lime pants. 

Not Just an Outfit, But Careful Picture Composition!

Interclub Round 3

Results of last Saturday's GS at Alpine are here.  While TSB's comeback win at the Peaks apparently left his knee a bit tender and he was on birthday party duty, his recruits notched another dominant victory, winning by 27 points over the Peaks, with Alpine uncharacteristically just three points further back.  As usual, the male baby boomers laid the foundation for victory, with Jeff Sutherland and Bebe Zoricic placing 1, 2 in their age group and Trent Winstone, Craig Shibley, Rob Burnes and Randy Dalton finishing 2 through 5 in theirs.  Meanwhile, newcomer Paul Atkinson had the fastest overall time of the day by half a second. Margaret Isberg, Daina Dunlop and Scott McLorie also won their respective age groups and Paul Woodhouse, Kat Zoricic, Doug Deeks and Greg Cavers were among the high scorers.

Other Notable Events

Erin Latimer, daughter and sister of GDHLers Ian and Sarah, will soon be off to the Sochi Paralympics, although not before making an appearance at the Track 3 event mentioned above.  Read more about Erin's exploits here.

Another Latimer Skiing Slalom!

Some good video of Ted Ligety dominating the St. Moritz World Cup GS and Mikaela Shiffrin being toppled in the Kranjska Gora World Cup SL:

Doug Jarvis is awarded the first Bieber Fever medal by the Friday training coaches, apparently for applying Bieberish crash and burn techniques to ski racing.

Jacques, Doug and Shelley

And finally, Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe will represent Mexico at the Olympics again, at the age of 55, and will sport a mariachi-inspired race suit.  It seems that he's probably a pretty decent GDHL level skier, with a nice bank balance and a convenient passport.

Another Middle-Aged Man in Lycra!

See you on the weekend,

Super G

The Super G was a great success on many fronts.  More about that below, but first

What You Need to Know Next

• Friday training is SL at 9:30 AM and i:00 PM.  Contact Laurel to register.
• Gate training is SL at 9:30 AM on each of Saturday and Sunday
• Technical training is at 9:30 AM on each of Saturday and Sunday, meet at the National chair
• The first of the new technical free ski / gateless training sessions is on Saturday from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.  These are freeing skiing sessions with Jacques Reid, using drills with a technical focus aimed at improving your skiing in gates.  The focus will be personalized for participants based on their goals.  Contact Laurel to register.  Participation will be limited to 10 unless there are more registrants then that by the end of the day on Friday, in which case an additional coach will be added.
• The third Interclub race (GS) will be at Alpine on Saturday afternoon.  Contact Taylor Simms-Brown if you are interested.
• The fifth GDHL race is the "endurance" SL and starts at 1:00 PM on Sunday.  Inspection is from approximately 12:15 PM to 12:40 PM.  The plan is to set the course beginning at the top of Millennium, running along the access route then turning downhill on Venture and ending at the finish line back on Millennium.

Super G

It's not often that we have a National Team member as a forerunner, but Madison Irwin was the first skier to take on the new Super G course last Saturday, recording a time of 1 min. 13.88 seconds, with an interval time of 35.83 seconds.  I'm pretty sure that the course got faster as the morning wore on, but when Maddy hits the really big time, some of our racers will be able to boast of having beaten her time in at least one race.  Results are here.  As is often the case for the Super G, the field was a bit smaller than for other races, and the chatter in the start area suggested that some of the fast guys had been held up by bad weather.  Ian Malcolm took full advantage to win with a comfortable margin, recording the time of 1 min. 8.84 seconds and becoming the youngest GDHL winner in recent memory, with Doug Macmillan placing second.  John Banfield confirmed expectations that he would return to his pre-hiatus form with a strong third place, followed by Greg Cavers and Jeff Sutherland.  Morgan Rubes finished sixth, followed by Tom Caswell, who moved up decisively from his 29th ranking.  A quick look at the GDHL database shows that both Morgan and Tom have historically done well in the Super G.  Conversely, Brook Dyson has missed the Super G for the last three years, but made amends by vaulting from his 33rd ranking to finish 10th.  Other top 20 finishers who improved significantly on their rankings included Peter Ardill (12th from ranking 25), Rob Burnes (15th from 34), David Lash (18th from 37) and Patrick Galligan (20th from 48).  Glenn Kilmer (26th from 50), Will Andrew (28th from 69 – again) and Rick Lapas (31st from 59) were also big movers, while Leslie Morgan led the women in 33rd, followed by Brittany Stainer and Lisa Warll in 35th and 36th.  (Jamie Coulter jumped from his 82nd ranking to finish between them in 34th.)  Michael Thompson, Tiana Boyman and Dougie Craig also jumped nicely into the middle class overall.

Other Notable Results

Kevin LaChance, known to many for his assistance with Saturday gate training sessions, cut a fine figure in his race suit on the podium at the Special Olympics event, after winning his age group and finishing second overall with the fastest overall time in the second run.

Meanwhile, in a Super G a bit farther from home, finish times were a bit tighter than we are accustomed to.  At the Hahnenkamm Super G in Kitzbuehel on Sunday, being one second behind the winner left you in 35th place and being another second behind left you in 65th!

More Super G

This year we have interval times to whet your appetite for detail.  They are posted here.  Interval times were taken in the vicinity of the Comet start hut.  I was surprised when Michael Walker told me that they were taken in the same way as at most World Cup races, namely with a manually operated stopwatch connected to the main timing system.  Michael says they're usually pretty accurate, but that occasional unexpected variations in interval times that pop up when you're watching a race on television may be due to the timing operator being distracted.

The Super G also provided some good examples of what the GDHL is, and is not, all about.  First, we don't have gatekeepers so, except when someone contrives to miss the last gate, we rely on racers to disqualify themselves if they miss gates.  The easiest way, of course, is simply not to ski across the finish line if you have missed a gate along the way.  You can also do as one racer did on Saturday when he promptly went to the finish hut to withdraw despite having had the fastest time to that point in the race.  Or, if you're not quite sure at that time, if you contact the GDHL committee, we can make adjustments after the fact as we did on Tuesday of this week when another racer came forward to identify his concerns about having perhaps missed a gate and a committee member was able to identify possible witness, who in fact confirmed those fears.  (If you looked at the results on Monday or Tuesday, check again and you may find that you have moved up a place.)

Second, it was great to get a lot of help with removing nets after the race on Saturday.  (By the way, the yellow nets, and the trailer that carries them around to different races, belong to the Nic Zoricic Foundation and represent their first investment in promoting skiing safety.)  This prompted a note from the Coyotes, which I am happy to pass along below.

“What a great weekend!   Your Coyotes hope you had a great time with your speed event this weekend.   It was great fun to watch all of you (and sometimes hear) a few of you come down that awesome course!

We especially want to thank you for the thoughtfulness of preparing us food and hot chocolate to sustain us through our long day!    I don’t think hot chocolate ever tasted that good!  It really meant a lot.  Hungry Coyotes are not happy Coyotes, and  you certainly helped avoid that!

And we really would not have made it through the day if it weren’t for the many hands that helped us tear down all of the B-Net!  Thank you! Thank you!  On behalf of all of us!

Proudly Coyote,

Jen & Mick Gillard”

Unfortunately, there is one less positive matter to be noted.  The "suitability test" on the home page of our website is intended to indicate that we don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do expect civilized behavior.  We will tolerate occasional fits of poor-performance-induced pique, as long as they aren't directed at someone else.  We will not tolerate misbehavior directed towards others, especially the race crew.  Concerns on the race course may be raised politely, preferably with Jacques Reid, but tantrums are liable to result in a "time out" from future races.

Improvement is a goal for everyone.  Please complete the survey here to provide feedback concerning your gate training and other adult racing experience at the Club.

Shelley Johnston has directed me to this short analysis of a Ted Ligety GS turn.  And here is a collection of Ron Lemaster race photography.  The images are both artistic and instructive.  An additional example featuring Ted Ligety appears below.

Finally, an invitation to meet another keen group of racers on Saturday afternoon.

"Please join us this Saturday Feb 1, between 3 and 4 at the Craigleith Coyote Race Crew Hut, beside Squire John's location at CSC.

Help us give support to our AOPRT Paralympic team before they head to SOCHI, Russia, March 7 – 16.  The team, their coach and parents will be present.  Have your photo taken with them.

Please drop in to meet these great athletes, as some of them are expected to 'podium' at the Paralympics!

Things Even Out, and TSB is Back

After last week's second run carnage on a deteriorating course, a hard surface and a well set course allowed many to have faster second runs in Sunday's GS on Vortex.  Meanwhile, Taylor Simms-Brown, in his first race in two seasons, overcame the pressure of being late for baby-sitting duty and the need for a rerun to set the fastest run of the day and lead Craigleith to victory in the second inter-club of the season.  More below, but first,

The view from the start ramp of the Super G.

Starting to glide!

Heading for Bowie - possible gate locations.

Super G Weekend!

The pictures above show some of what you can expect from the Super G on Saturday morning.  It will start at the top of the Funnel chair, run along Cruiser (hopefully not into a head wind, or through new snow), past the top of the Comet chair, down Bowie, then back past the bottom of Porcupine to the finish line on Comet.  It will be hard to get lost with the large amount of B-netting that is being erected. Be sure to arrive early (9ish) for inspection, as the Super G course is often closed down for a longer period than usual before the start, to allow for final preparations.  Remember too that you must have a full helmet with hard ear coverings and that, as there will be several racers on course at a time, it is possible that you will be flagged down if there is a fall ahead of you, in which case you should stop and return to the start line for a rerun.

When the race is over, please stick around to help tear down and roll the nets.  There is a huge amount of work that goes into preparing a course for us to run this very exciting race, and the Coyotes can't do all the work themselves for this one!

The Rest of the Schedule

• Speed camp runs Wednesday and Thursday mornings, including training on the Super G course, and all day Friday with higher speed GS on Vortex.  Contact Laurel to register.
• Saturday adult gate training will be SL at 1 pm.  Sunday's session will be SL at 9:30 am.
• Adult tech sessions are Saturday and Sunday at 9:30.  Meet at the National chair.
• The annual Snow School apres-ski for adults is Saturday at 3:00 in the South Lodge loft - come have a beer and munchies on Cindy.

GDHL Race 3

Results are here.  Unlike last race, 13 of the top 18 finishers had faster second runs on Vortex last Sunday, although the end result, a win for Alec Libert, was a repeat.  The young guns swept the first four places, as Trevor Jackson took 2nd and his hirsute younger brother Spencer placed 3rd in his GDHL debut, followed by Ian Malcolm.  Greg Cavers and Jeff Sutherland led the veterans in 5th and 6th, followed by older newcomer Doug Macmillan, who is quietly establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with.  Craig Shibley lost a fine first run by repeating last year's trick of skiing the wrong side of the last gate, but rebounded with the identical time in his second run, while John Banfield is starting to work himself into the conversation after a slow start to his return from retirement.  Brittany Stainer led the women, finishing 25th overall, while Lisa Warll came out ahead of Leslie Morgan in another close contest, as they finished 36th and 40th, respectively, less than 0.2 seconds apart.  Lisa was tied with Will Andrew, who this week finished only 33 spots ahead of his ranking. Brad McMullen finished 44th, confirming the opening week's assessment that the rankings committee needed more data.  Rob Bruce and Jamie Coulter scored solid improvements on their rankings (based on prior years), while Stephanie Clark edged out her progenitor by a mere hundredth.  Offspring also prevailed in the Darlison / Dunlop family, with daughter Rowan establishing a more decisive margin from her forerunning position, while Austin Gust couldn't quite match his father's fine 12th place time but showed little consideration for his mother / fellow forerunner or his grandfather.  (Have we ever before had three generations participate in the same GDHL race?)

See below for part of the reason it's so hard to get ahead in a GS race these days.  And now you can get the same ski in a Dynastar livery as well!

Market share -  Rossi Masters on the Millennium Chair after Sunday's GS

Kate Ryley

As an aside, Kate Ryley, who was a teammate of Libert, T. Jackson and Ruffolo in their Nancy Greene and Mackenzie league days, is off to a flying start in her NCAA races, having won the first three of the season.  This includes one GS victory with a 3.64 second margin and a personal best 15 FIS points.  Kate entered her final year of NCAA competition having been named an All-American in her first three years.  Dare we hope for a 2015 return to the escarpment and the glories of the GDHL and Druxy's masters racing?

Interclub Race 2

Last Saturday afternoon saw the second race in the remodeled Interclub series, this time featuring a fifth team in the form of a joint Toronto Ski Club / Devil's Glen entry, and the announcement of a fifth race to be held at the Glen on 15 March.  Craigleith's performance wasn't quite as dominant as in recent races, but was sufficient for an 11 point victory over the Peaks on their home hill, with Alpine claiming third.  Jeff Sutherland, Bebe Zoricic and Glen Blaylock finished 1, 2, 3 in the men's 55 to 59 age category, racking up big points as usual, while Trent Winstone, Craig Shibley and Ian Latimer scored well in the 50 to 54 group.  Anne Mathers, Margaret Isberg, Tiana Boyman, Greg Cavers and Patrick Brown (returning from a long absence) all won their categories.  But it was TSB, claiming not to have even tuned his skis while recovering from surgery last season, who surprised and delighted most of the crowd with a first run that gave him almost a half second lead in the overall standings.  Others ate into that margin on their second runs while TSB was attending to the twins, but couldn't spoil the triumphant return. Full results are here.

Self-Improvement / Live in Hope

It may have been a plan destined for failure from the start, but the flags placed on the stubbies in last Saturday morning's GS training course lasted only a couple of runs.  It wasn't the stiff breeze that left them littered all over the course.  The point is that there is a trade off between skiing the absolute minimum distance by pinching the gates and giving your feet some room to create edge angle without putting your upper body in harm's way.  See the picture below of Ted Ligety skiing GS, something at which he's reputed to be pretty good.  See the edge angle.  See the distance his feet are from the gate.  Look up the results.  Coincidence? I don't think so!

And just think how well he could turn on the Dynastar Masters ski!

And here is some pretty sophisticated home video of the first run of the Comet SL shot by Morgan Rubes on his goggle camera.  More of the similar is to be found on his YouTube channel.

Finally, don't forget to get Family Day weekend and Valentine's Day off to a good start with the Track 3 Race Day!  Full details are at the end of this message.

See you at the top of Cruiser!
