was watching the news. KARE 11 did a segment on Erich Sailer / Buck Hill (http://www.nbcolympics.com/kare/news/newsid=372649.html#vonn+first+slopes+buck+hill). there's video but you need to download silverlight.
Sailer shared his "secret".
"The secret is repetition, the rope tow, because with the rope tow you can make a lot of runs."
one day last season joe d was on olympic dreams. i think he got in 3 runs on the rope tow for every one of my chairlifts back up. i tried it but it was brutal - legs were fried. i was exhausted, sweating, maybe a bit wheezy. after about 6 runs i took the comfy couch back up. joe kept going at it till they kicked him off. he got a full day of riding in that one hour.
after the news story ms. bobble asked me, "so, you ever see lindsey vonn at buck?"
i replied "no... but i'm pretty sure she's seen me"
"... oh my ... ", she responded
