Most of the racers went to Lake Louise on Saturday to watch the men's World Cup Downhill, and a few stayed to watch the super-g on Sunday. One of my personal favorites, Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal won both days by large margins. Unfortunately, I left on Saturday before American Marco Sullivan jumped to third place after starting in 43rd, winning the "Hard Charger Award". Overall, the event was a blast, as was the bib-drawing event at the Chateau at Lake Louise Saturday night. Here are my pictures:
