THST-SV: Day 3-Schedule & Recap

The Honda Ski Tour-Sun Valley: Day 3-feezing temperatures, day 2 recap and today’s schedule

Jan 13, 2007

Day 3 of The Honda Ski Tour-Sun Valley, Idaho. Here is THST’s schedule for Saturday, January 13th. Also, a Day 2 recap and a freezing weather warning!

It’s Day 3 at The Honda Ski Tour in Sun Valley, Idaho! To recap Day 2: “Wow! It is unbelievably cold outside!” If you are coming up today or tonight, the weather is no joke! DRESS APPROPRIATELY! It will be colder today in Sun Valley, Idaho than in Anchorage, Alaska. Read on for my recap and thoughts for THST Day 2. Also, look for today’s schedule.

It was an incredibly cold Day 2 at THST! On the first major day of THST four resort schedule, the weather became a relevant issue throughout the day and night. The spectators at the skiercross qualifier were definitely cold, but more importantly, I was told the winds created some challenges for the athletes. The race was in fact, a time trial with the skier soloing on his qualifying run. The skiers with the top fourteen racing times moved on and will compete in today’s skiercross. Seven “Paul Mitchell Dark Horse Qualifiers” will have another chance this morning to earn one of the two final spots.

Here are the skiercross qualifying results, for the skiers that are still in race contention:

It was literally freezing outside last night. The Wailers were dressed in enormous winter parkas with fur hoods. In fact, their coats would have been somewhat comical, if their dress wasn’t so very necessary. The Wailers were smart and dressed for the weather. There were however, many people in attendance who were not dressed appropriately. The shows were great and THST has diligently produced many wonderfully creative event details (everything from street performers to fireworks to impromptu outside fireplaces), unfortunately the weather was the most talked about event during THST’s second day.

I’m looking forward to tonight’s all-indoor produced events at Basecamp! Still, you will have to walk outside to get to all the other shows and appreciate everything THST has to offer. At the risk of sounding like your mother, I’m going to repeat myself and remind you to dress for freezing weather! Forget about fashion (remember The Wailers): the warmer you are, the more fun you will have at THST!

DAY 3 SCHEDULE:

Warm Springs / Bald Mtn – free/lift ticket needed on the mountain
