Slalom #2

A productive day. Last night I had Scott view the retraction chapter on the USSA Slalom video. That, plus a little more time to get acquainted with his skis, paid dividends. Today he kept his feet grounded during transition which produced some pretty sweet runs. He now has his groove back and is looking forward to timed runs tomorrow.

I got to meet a legend while riding the tram one day this week. Coach Kostelic is the father of Janica and Ivica Kostelic and coached them all the way to the World Cup. Combined they have more than 50 WC wins plus several Olympic Medals. It's a great story about dedication and perseverence while coming up in Croatia during troubled times. They didn't have much money and lived in their car while travelling the circuit. They were even known to climb up into the engine rooms for the lifts after closing and sleep near the warm motors. He's still coaching Ivica and definately does things his own way. We had a great conversation.
