Coming up the first half of February will be the Vail Beaver Creek 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships. While I am not in the habit of encouraging you guys to visit other ski areas, this is truly an exception. In the world of alpine ski racing, this event is as big, if not bigger, than the Olympics. I have been lucky enough to go to half a dozen World Cup races. The power, intensity, and precision of these athletes is absolutely unbelievable. Most of us only dream of turning the way these guys do. The schedule can be found easily online. I strongly encourage everyone to take in a day of this racing. I will be there for a couple of events.
