Wengen is Back!


Last year at this time we were in Europe...Wengen, Switzerland to be exact to watch my brother ski in the Wengen World Cup downhill! What an amazing place, so beautiful with the Eiger looming above and the only access to the town is to take a train up to it, so no cars. It is so pretty there, look at this and this and this and rodeling!! Can you tell I wish I was there?


Check out this video I made, it gives you a little feel of what watching a World Cup race is like over in Europe, the Swiss Army flying overhead before the race, everyone setting up their fondue pots on the side of the hill, trains to the start, this place is amazing! Plus Marco got 3rd which made the whole experience even better!

Anyway, tomorrow Marco races there again! Go Marco!

If you want to watch the race LIVE, here are a few options:

1. You can watch live video shown on Universal Sports.
Race starts at 4:30am Mountain Time, 3:30am Pacific Time.
(Look on the right side of the page to find Live Alpine Skiing - Men's DH from Wengen)

2. If that doesn't work for you, there is always Live Timing, not as exciting because you only see times and not the racers.

Best Places to Check for Results & News:

1. FIS Skiing

2. Universal Sports (You can always watch the video later, not live, if you want to!)

3. US Ski Team

GO MARCO!!!!!
