Video: Winning Runs from the Snowshoe DH World Cup 2023
Pinky has been close to the top elite times on the steeper, less technical tracks bit this track showed a significantly bigger difference of 9s between juniors and elites. Looks like it is some track for having more sections to differentiate riders and the risks are probably slightly higher too on this type of track.
Wild racing...

Race Analysis from the Snowshoe DH World Cup 2023
What was wrong with the track, not enough berms, too rocky, does it need a big piste section...
Did gravity not remove some of the need for technical skill and bike setup...
Did the Irish who ride wet track that are slippery do well and this doesn't set right with you?
Please explain what is wrong with this track?

No, its an open category, so Nina wins the open, but Aletha the sleeve.
Quite common for other nationalities to take part in champs races, the purse and being over the pond would have been enough to entice the SC team to take part, they would have wanted both top prizes but Dak is on one, would not be surprised if he wins a WC soon, maybe not this year but 2024 could be interesting.

Red Bull Releases Statement on a Women's Category at Rampage
@jsnfschr: it's a small hill that is littered with lines already, the idea of rampage is to be the pinnacle of the sport.
Women are pushing each other, that is what formation was about which is great to see.
Women have been at nines etc too and pushing their limits.
Women have also ridden most of the hardline features.
But this is rampage, honestly, even Brendog and Gee being there is a bit of a sponsor plug, neither has qualified for a world cup and neither of them is going to do any kind of trick off something big compared to where freeride is now.
Rampage may struggle to get riders in lower positions, who knows.
It's not about women in sport, it's about rampage, the pinnacle of freeride... or is it slopestyle, sand bags and grooming these days .. lol
