Where to start?
Manny O.P. and the Canadian men's alpine speed team did their best Austrian impersonnation in Kvitfjell, Norway, dominating the field with four racers in the top 10 on both race days, including Manny's first win.
The men's team is on a roll of late after with John Kucera winning the downhill title at the world champs last month in Val d'Isere, France. And, even more tantilizing, is when men's head coach Paul Kristofic drew comparisions from this race course in Norway to the 2010 Olympic track. One can't help but think optimistically 11 months ahead...

The Canadian ski cross team is contuing to strut its winning ways with Ashley McIvor taking a World title.
