Men’s super-G moved to today Snow, wind postpone Wednesday’s race at the Championships in Beaver Creek. American Ted Ligety will try to defend his title. A25 CORRECTIONS The story on page A3 of Wednesday’s Vail Daily, “Vail hospital plan starts council review,” contained errors. First, Vail Valley Medical Center officials say a multiphase, $100-million expansion could take five to seven years; the expected completion is in 2019. Second, the expansion of the west wing would add a fourth floor to the facility, not build in the current parking lot. The story on A4 of Wednesday’s Vail Daily, “Benedict 100 trek honors World Champs tradition,” had an incorrect caption. The skier in the yellow jacket carrying the Interconnect flag is Jeff Nowak.

Championships men’s super-G a no-go Race rescheduled for today at 11 a.m. By Chris Freud cfreud@vaildaily.com
BEAVER CREEK — The decision came quickly on Wednesday morning. With snow dumping and the wind blowing, the International Ski Federation made a quick call at 10 a.m., postponing Wednesday’s FIS Alpine World Ski Championships men’s super-G at Beaver Creek. Ninety minutes after the postponement, FIS announced by text that the super-G was rescheduled for today at 11 a.m., to be followed by women’s downhill training at 1:30 p.m. Today was already a reserve day for the Championships with just men’s and women’s downhill training originally scheduled. What’s more, the weather report looks much better for today with weather.com calling for temperatures in the low 40s with zero percent chance of precipitation and mostly sunny skies. While the weather report, of course, is not set in stone as gospel truth, the meteorologists got it right on Wednesday. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm advisory that started on Tuesday at 6 p.m. and extended through Wednesday at midnight. The advisory became a winter storm watch by Wednesday and the snow started falling. The National Weather estimated that 6-10 inches would fall on Wednesday. A press release from the Vail Valley Foundation said that snow was falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour at the time of the postponment.
TOO MUCH SNOW? While snow, of course, is a

The stadium support crew works hard to clear snow from the bleachers of Redtail Finish Area in Beaver Creek on Wednesday. Large volumes of snow and high winds led to the cancellation of Wednesday’s men’s super-G race. necessity for ski racing, there is the paradox of needing a base upon which to ski and, at the same time, maintaining safety. The snow for the ski-racing world is different than resort snow, such as the champagne powder for which Colorado is known. The snow on both the women’s Raptor and men’s Birds of Prey racecourses is injected with water to make it as fast as possible. Accumulations of snow on the course make it slower and hazardous for
racers, despite the work of the Talon Crew, whose mission is to care for the courses by shoveling and/or slipping them, and doing whatever else is necessary. Through the years, the Talon Crew and Beaver Creek Race Crew have received rave reviews from racers of all nationalities, but the crew can only do so much to keep up with Mother Nature. Then there’s visibility, particularly for the speed events like the super-G, the downhills on Friday
and Saturday and the downhill potions of the combineds on Sunday and Monday. Racers can reach speeds of 70 mph in downhill and 60 mph in super-G. With the wind blowing sideways at times on Wednesday, that made for unsafe racing conditions.
IT HAPPENS The World Championships’ schedule is built with weather postponements in mind. Today was already scheduled as a day
with no official competition. Next Wednesday is also a reserve day, should weather interfere with the downhills or the combineds. When Vail and Beaver Creek hosted Worlds in 1999, the women’s super-G, the first event of the competition, was snowed out. That made the men’s super-G the opening event with Hermann Maier and Lasse Kjus tying down to the hundredth of a second for

Open terrain, tree skiing great for race training Shiffrin’s first slalom gates grew from the ground up By Shauna Farnell Special to the Daily
BEAVER CREEK — When races and training are canceled due to weather as they were on Wednesday, the American and Canadian athletes are the first ones — and often the only ones — you see dipping into the trees and seeking powder stashes. This is because they were born and raised in ski resorts where nearly all the terrain, even the steep chutes and narrow alleys through the trees, are controlled
for avalanche dangers and are open to the public.
MIKAELA’S ROOTS For example, Mikaela Shiffrin’s first slalom experience as a little girl was dodging trees on Vail Mountain. Before moving to Burke Mountain Academy in Vermont at age 12 to pursue a more rigid schedule of skiing gates, Vail and Beaver Creek’s open terrain helped her dial in her race form and her ability to make quick turns. “I loved skiing in Vail because of the big mountain aspect of it,” the Olympic champion said. “I used to huck off cliffs and ski in the trees. I used to dodge trees, and to dodge trees I had to keep my hands forward. There’s a lot
to be said for ripping around the mountain and improving your technique. I skied so much when I was younger.” The free skiing and powder skiing opportunities for North American alpine skiers, particularly those who grew up in Colorado or on the West Coast, vastly set them apart from European racers, who do not have such easy access to free skiing on sprawling, open terrain.

FIS ALPINE WORLD SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS
Once more with feeling, the men’s super-G today Everything you need to know and more ... again By Chris Freud cfreud@vaildaily.com
The biggest development of Wednesday at the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships was that the weather people got it right. Seriously, people, how often do meteorologists actually get it right? “We’re expecting 2-3 feet of snow,” says the weather person, and zilch or it’s a measly 1-2 inches. Seriously, if this sports-writing thing doesn’t work out, I’ve considered becoming a weather man. Freud’s forecast for October through May in Eagle County: “It may snow. It may not. Why are you asking me?” That would be a good living. Instead, we go back to covering ski racing with the men’s super-G, take two. Your defending champion at Worlds remains Ted Ligety (Bib No. 3). He is a longshot to repeat, but the Birds of Prey super-G is more technical than most, so it suits “Shred” better than most. That said, he has not cracked the podium here, finishing fourth, fifth and 11th the past three
years here during the regular Birds of Prey World Cup stop. Norway’s Kjetil Jansrud (17) is the man to watch. He won the Olympic super-G last year in Russia. Can he join Austria’s Anna Fenninger as a double winner of Olympic and Worlds super-G within a 12-month period? Jansrud, by the by, leads the World Cup in super-G points, finished second at Beaver Creek, despite a major bobble, in December and was the fastest in training on Tuesday. Italy’s Dominik Paris (20) won the Kitzbuehel, Austria, super-G before everyone came to town, and Austria’s Hannes Reichelt (19) is the defending Birds of Prey super-G champ.
TODAY’S RACE The lowdown on the men’s super-G: Format: One run with the fastest time winning, as long as you stay within the gates. Racers will get an inspection of the course, but not ski it before the race. Course numbers: The regular super-G start on Birds of Prey starts at 10,995 feet and drops 2,201 feet during a mere 1.04 miles.

From page A25 the only gold-medal tie in Worlds history. That snow also had no hope of slowing down the Austrians in 1999. Two days after the postponement, Alexandra Meissnitzer, Renate Goetschl and Michaela Dorfmeister swept the podium, the first 1-2-3 finish by one nation in women’s Worlds competition. More recently, both the 2013 Worlds in
Schladming, Austria, and the 2011 edition in Garmisch, Germany, both had races rescheduled. The last time Worlds did not hold an individual discipline title event (super-G) was 1993 in Morioka, Japan. In other logistics, the men’s downhill training scheduled for today has been canceled. They already had a training session on Tuesday and will have another one slated for Friday before Saturday’s race.

From page A25
Khutor when the day’s race was canceled. Julia Mancuso is famous for making a dash for the powder whenever possible. (See her on YouTube freeskiing in Soelden, Austria, clad in a Wonder Woman costume). Looking around the hill on Wednesday after the men’s super-G was postponed to today, there were a smattering of national team jackets taking runs, but not many in the trees. Most were practicing holding their tucks down the groomers. The general approach to skiing is different among Europeans, largely because of the way skiing is done at European resorts. There, people stay on the groomed slopes. The terrain that is ungroomed, even that which lies alongside the groomed runs, is often considered “off-piste.” It’s not unusual to see avalanche fractures in these areas, even directly under or next to the chairlift line. There are often signs posted (but rarely fences) warning skiers that this is avalanche territory. Europeans do not partake in tree skiing, as the forests are often
spotted with old stone fences, wires and unmarked, human-made obstacles. But the opportunities to ski all over the mountain here have not gone unnoticed by European racers, as evidenced by Tina Maze, who, following her silver-medal super-G performance on Tuesday, gushed about wanting to return to Vail and Beaver Creek without her race skis, simply to enjoy the open terrain.
“I want to come here once just to ski, to go out in the trees where I see all the people having fun.” Tina Maze Slovenian Ski Team
“I want to come here once just to ski, to go out in the trees where I see all the people having fun,” the Slovenian superstar said. “We have fun on the slopes, but sometimes it would be nice to be here for skiing all over the place where you see those trees. My dream the last day (is) to go into the trees and have the trees for the gates.”

SPORTS Celtics squeak past Nuggets, 104-100 By Ken Powtak Associated Press
BOSTON — Benched at the start because of lateness, Jared Sullinger made two free throws with 22.8 seconds left to break a tie and lift the Boston Celtics over the Denver Nuggets 104-100 Wednesday night. Coach Brad Stevens kept Sullinger out of the lineup for the second straight home game after the forward was late for the afternoon shootaround. On Sunday, he was late for a walkthrough. Sullinger wound up scoring 14 points. It was 100-all when he was fouled by Kenneth Faried driving to the basket, and he hit both free throws.
PATRIOTS HONORED The Celtics won their second in a row and seemed energized by a loud ovation from the crowd that honored several New England Patriots who were in attendance after winning the Super Bowl. Defensive back Malcolm Butler, who saved Sunday’s victory over Seattle with an interception in the closing seconds, was among those at the game. Avery Bradley and Marcus Thornton each scored 17 points for Boston. Tyler Zeller and Jae Crowder added 14 apiece.
LAWSON LEADS NUGGETS Ty Lawson led the Nuggets with 23 points and eight assists. Aaron Afflalo had 18 points and Faried had 17 points and 11 rebounds. Denver has lost four in a row and 11 of 12. After Sullinger’s free throws, Crowder stole the inbounds pass and Bradley was fouled, hitting free throws with 18.3 seconds left.
MEN’S SUPER-G
From page A27
Weather: Looking much better today with highs in the low-40s and mostly sunny. Notable winners of yore in super-G here: Norway’s Lasse Kjus and Hermann Maier shared the gold during the 1999 Worlds. Maier also won in 1997. Fredrik Nyberg, of Norway, took it in 2000, snapping the Herminator’s streak of seven wins in as many starts at Beaver Creek. Reichelt has won three times here, including the first World Cup win of his career in 2005.
THINGS TO KNOW
Watch out: The Screech Owl Turn is right out of the gate, and that has traditionally been a tough spot. Maintaining the balance of speed and control through the course’s last three jumps, Golden Eagle, Harrier and Redtail is always key. The Abyss, between Golden Eagle and Harrier, tends to throw racers off course. Favorites: In addition to Jansrud, Paris and Reichelt, Switzerland’s Patrick Kueng (16) and Austria’s Georg Streitberger (14) have wins here. Austrian’s Otmer Streidinger (18) and Matthias Mayer (21) should be in the mix. Dark horses: There are two racers, Norway’s Aksel Lund Svindal (15) and Bode Miller (9), making their return from injury. Could they pull the rabbit out of the hat? Ligety also has to be in this category. Americans (bib number): Ligety (3), Miller (9), Andrew Weibrecht (12), Travis Ganong (23) and Steve Nyman (29). The mathematically astute will have determined that there are five, not four, Americans in the race.

The picks: Our gurus did OK, all going with Lindsey Vonn on Tuesday. If you haven’t heard, she won bronze. Today, Vail Daily sports editor Chris Freud and the paper’s ski goddess Shauna Farnell take Reichelt. Pat Graham, of AP Denver, goes with Miller.
