BUT, I have a solution. on your mobile device type in Talon Crew Filckr and you will find "Talon Crew Photo's albums". Click on that and it will take you to all the albums I have created including this years(2025) photo album. Curtis

Good evening One Team. Hoping everyone is enjoying the recharge day. I believe we'll need all our energy to prepare the course for tomorrows GS.

The One Team worked hard to prepare the hill for today's men's super-G race. With periods of heavy snowfall and wind they managed to be the hill in race shape by the 11am start time. But with challenging conditions the race was called after 31 racers because of strong wind. Despite these conditions there were still plenty of One Team smiles! Stay tuned for Sunday's Giant Slalom.😎

Blue skies and sunshine welcomed the One Team for today's men's downhill race. There was still plenty of work to be done before the 11:00am start time and the One Team got it done. America's Ryan Cochran-Siegle placed second on home soil. The men's Super G race will be tomorrow. Great Job One Team! 😎
