Tips and Tales: Lake Louise and Beaver Creek Recap

By Published On: December 11th, 2019Comments Off on Tips and Tales: Lake Louise and Beaver Creek Recap

After two long weekends in Beaver Creek and Lake Louise for both the men and the women of the World Cup, Sean Higgins and Mackenzie Moran had a lot to analyze. Both writers were on the ground at last week’s races, experiencing the action up close and personal.

The men competed in downhill, super-G, and giant slalom, while the women had two days of downhill and one day of super-G. On the men’s side of the tour saw a couple of shake-ups in terms of podiums this week, with career-best finishes by 22-year-old Marco Odermatt in the super-G and Tommy Ford in the giant slalom. The women’s side of the tour also had a couple of “unexpected” results, as Ester Ledecka won the first day of the downhill (another career-best finish) and a couple of women had break-through results in both the super-G and the downhill.

All-in-all, who do we think will make a play for top spots in the disciplines contested this weekend? Well, it’s up for debate.
