In sunny conditions on tough snow, Alcott did well to qualify in the top 30 after making a big mistake in the first run. Four gates from home Alcott caught her hand in the gate which lost her a lot of time, however she still qualified for the second run in 28th position, 2.57 seconds off the lead held by Finland's Tanja Poutiainen. After the first run Alcott commented “that was really frustrating” [after catching her hand in the gate]. “I was relaxed coming out of the steep and I came in deep into the final section and let rip, yet the only thing I ripped was my new Colmar race suit! If I make the second run it shows just how well I am skiing.” Alcott then put down a storming second run, the joint fastest time with Kathrin Zettel of Austria, the overall race winner.

  • The CARRERA SKI RACING TEAM Lines up Its Champions for an Exciting New Season
    SKI WORLD CUP 2010-2011 The CARRERA SKI RACING TEAM lines up its champions for an exciting new season October 2010 – The Ski World Cup officially starts and the CARRERA SKI RACING TEAM 2010/2011 enters with a strong line-up of first-class champions. The first name to mention among the athletes that will be descending on the slopes this winter season wearing the CARRERA brand is Carlo Janka, the young Swiss athlete, who last year won the General World Cup for the downhill and giant slalom races. Along with Janka, we will also be seeing the Swede Anja Paerson, the Austrians Rainer Schoenfelder and Michael Walchhofer, who with Elisabeth Goergl and Mario Scheiber will be giving the White Circus fans some terrific emotions. The CARRERA SKI RACING TEAM 2010/2011 will also count the Swiss talent Marc Berthod, among its ranks, who in the past seasons achieved brilliant results in his disciplines. The novelties of this season are the two promising young Finns, Markus Sandell, who despite a serious fall was able to participate in the Vancouver Olympic Games; and Andreas Romar, the bronze medal winner in the 2009 Junior World Ski Championships. Some big names in Nordic skiing also stand out including the Olympic ski-jumping champion Thomas Morgenstern and the World ski-jumping champion Gregor Schlierenzauer. For the winter season 2010/2011, CARRERA is the official supplier of ski helmets and goggles for the teams of Austria, Finland, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and Japan. Athletes such as Austrians Stefan Goergl, Johan Grugger, Andrea Fischbacher, Cristoph Bieler and Romed Baumann, and the Swede Therese Borssen will race in the various Alpine and Nordic ski disciplines, always protected by the CARRERA products.

  • Alcott 12Th in Bad Kleinkirchheim
    Snowsport GB, Hillend, Biggar Road, Midlothian, EH10 7EF Tel: 0131-445-7676; www.snowsportgb.com [email protected] Sunday 15th January 2006 Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria. Alcott: 12th in Bad Kleinkirchheim The British Land Alpine Ski Team's Chemmy Alcott buried the disappointment of a relatively poor downhill showing yesterday in Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria when she skied to an impressive 12th place in today's World Cup Women's Super G. Racing first down the course Alcott, (23, Twickenham/The British Land Alpine Ski Team) set aside any nervousness about being the first woman ever to ski Super G on the resort's Franz Klammer Weltcup Abfahrt piste, and set a time of 1 minute 10.35 seconds. Her run set her up in the top three until several of the Women's Super G big guns attacked it, but 12th - the second best ever British Women's Super G result after her own 11th in Lake Louise in late 2003 - is her best result of the season so far and the third best World Cup result of her career so far. After struggling in some of the women's world cup downhills Alcott was pleased not only with her skiing today, but also with the way in which she handled the pressure of skiing first. Two years ago she let the stress of opening the course get to her, but today she was able to use her intuition to ski the fall line as much as possible and return a very encouraging result, less than a month before the start of the Olympic Winter Games.

Received: 17 August 2020; Accepted: 15 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: Climate change affects snowpack properties indirectly through the greater need for artificial snow production for ski centers. The seasonal snowpacks at five ski centers in Central Slovakia were examined over the course of three winter seasons to identify and compare the seasonal development and inter-seasonal and spatial variability of depth average snow density of ski piste snow and uncompacted natural snow. The spatial variability in the ski piste snow density was analyzed in relation to the snow depth and snow lances at the Košútka ski center using GIS. A special snow tube for high-density snowpack sampling was developed (named the MM snow tube) and tested against the commonly used VS-43 snow tube. Measurements showed that the MM snow tube was constructed appropriately and had comparable precision. Significant differences in mean snow density were identified for the studied snow types.

Alla mia famiglia, che mi ha supportato in tutti i miei 19 anni di carriera scolastica, permettendomi di raggiungere con successo questo traguardo. A Francesca che mi ha regalato la sua presenza nei momenti peggiori e in quelli migliori, riuscendo ad offrirmi sempre il suo affetto, con gioia e serenità. Ai tutti miei zii, in particolare Ivana e Roberto per aver sempre avuto parole di conforto e sostegno, nei momenti difficili, e a Mabel per avermi aiutato ad affrontare le prime difficoltà nel mio cammino scolastico ed avermi indirizzato a questa strada con il suo esempio. A Nicola, che ha creduto in me, spronandomi a dare sempre di più, permettendomi così di portare a termine questo lavoro di tesi aiutandomi anche nella sua stesura e revisione, senza mai mancare negare un sorriso; per avermi inoltre permesso ottime esperienze, negli ambiti più disparati.

  • C'e' Chi Dice Miller, C'e' Chi Sogna Fill
    ! C’E’ CHI DICE MILLER, C’E’ CHI SOGNA FILL Domattina la discesa sulla Stelvio con gli azzurri tra i protagonisti - Il pronostico di Christof Innerhofer - Tra i favoriti oltre all’americano e all’altoatesino anche l’austriaco Hannes Reichelt, vincitore della passata edizione, e il leader di Coppa del Mondo, Aksel Lund Svindal ! BORMIO, 28 DICEMBRE 2013 - Eccezionalmente l’anno scorso a Bormio hanno vinto in due. Dominik Paris domani darà forfait: ha ancora un polpaccio ammaccato e non vuole rischiare nell’anno olimpico. L’altro, Hannes Reichelt, invece ci sarà e pure oggi, nella seconda giornata di prove cronometrate della discesa di Coppa del Mondo, è stato tra i più veloci “su una pista più veloce di ieri”. Solo Erik Guay, il funambolico canadese trionfatore nell’ultima libera in Val Gardena, l’ha battuto di una manciata di centesimi di secondo. Eppure, a sentire Christof Innerhofer, che non ha peli sulla lingua, altri sono i favoriti della discesa sulla mitica Stelvio. “Mi chiedi tre nomi? E io te li faccio subito: nell’ordine Bode Miller, Peter Fill e Aksel Lund Svindal”. E Reichelt? “Sì lo so, qui ha vinto l’anno scorso, ma tu vuoi sapere i primi tre e io te li ho detti. Comunque appena giù dal podio c’è lui, facciamo quarto, e Guay quinto”. E tu? “Non è mai bello parlare di se stessi. Io sto bene, sono in forma e non importa se domani arrivo decimo, quindicesimo o terzo. Nello sci bisogna essere anche fortunati. Specie su questa pista che non ti permette di sbagliare mai.

  • Portraits Décapants
    PORTRAITS DÉCAPANTS Carnet de visites de skieurs(euses) Comme dans les précédents numéros du Sportivore, je vous invite à rencontrer quelques éminentes figures du passé ou du présent qui ont été rebaptisées d’un « petit nom ». Et même s’ils ne sont pas légion, le ski demeurant une activité assez confidentielle, voici les portraits décapants de champion(ne)s qui n’ont pas froid aux yeux. Blitz aus Kitz, L’éclair noir de Kitzbühel (Toni Sailer) 6”2 secondes. C’est la marge monstrueuse avec laquelle cet Autrichien charmeur au bonnet à pompon blanc est devenu champion olympique de slalom géant en 1956. Depuis, on n’a jamais fait mieux. D’ailleurs, ce natif de Kitzbühel, Mecque du ski alpin, est une légende vivante dans son pays. C’est ainsi que, celui qui aurait dû devenir chef d’orchestre dans les rêves de son père, va donner entre 1955 et 1958 un exceptionnel récital sportif, avec notamment un sans- faute en slalom géant, sept titres mondiaux (1956, 1958) et un mémorable triplé olympique (1956). Son fabuleux succès des Jeux de 1956 fit de lui l’idole de la jeunesse autrichienne et un symbole de la renaissance du pays (indépendant l’année précédente). La notoriété du beau Toni se renforça lors de son aventure avec Romy Schneider, jeune actrice de dix-huit ans. Mais à vingt-trois ans, à une époque où l’on ne badinait pas avec l’amateurisme, l’éclair noir de Kitzbühel fut disqualifié pour avoir monnayé une prestation dans un film où il interprétait le rôle… d’un skieur ! Blessé dans son orgueil, il décida de raccrocher et rejoignit les plateaux de cinéma (vingt-deux films) et les studios d’enregistrement (dix-huit albums) avant de revenir en 1972 à ses premiers amours, comme directeur technique de la Fédération autrichienne de ski.
