I know from Harald that conditions at A-basin have been pretty good so far this season (for early season conditions). But A-Basin's base is 10,400. Vail and Beaver Creek start around 8000 feet and apparently it has been quite warm there, continues to be warm during the day this week and the races that start on 12/2 (11/30, DH training runs) are in doubt. Looks like the FIS has to make a decision by this weekend, and with the forecast for continued warm temps these races have a strong chance/likelihood of getting cancelled and re-scheduled for later in the season, most likely in Europe.
Balance: Essential in skiing and in life!
