I'm watching it now. The video isn't very good. Could it be my computer/ software or something? Thanks for the link, though. I didn't know about it. MYMC is a big sponsor of the tournament.

I noticed that. Didn't I hear that PP is working on a GPS based system?

Video plays then freezes. Over and over. Anything I can turn on or off to improve it?

Interesting......haven't heard that but I have been a bit out of the loop this year.

Hurry! Jodi Fisher and Jamie B are running right now!
Video is fine here on a cable connection.
It sounds like they're not giving a PP vs Zero Off option to the skiers, and just going all with ZO.
Wow! Jodi Fisher just got bit by the one ball monster at 1 ball at 38 off!

My laptop with the air card from Verizon is showing it perfect! Just saw JB beat Jodi at 38 off.

Yeah that was surprising to see Jodi bite it at 1......JB ran that 38' off with his eyes closed.

I found that my choppiness was due to the internet connection. Wish I could help.

Did you try both links, the one with and without the chat window? They seem to use different pages.

Didn't make a difference when I tried it, but that makes sense since it is definitely my internet connection. Worth a shot.

I was about to ask if anyone knew what the prize for 3rd or 4th when they said $2500 for 3rd and $2250 for 4th. Thy've been saying all along that 1st is $7500. Doesn't seem like all that much money. I'd guess that 2nd pays $5000. I guess sponsorship money is what pays the bills?

Jamie Beauchane beat Thomas Degasparey (sp on both) in the finals with either 3 1/2 or 4 at 41. Natalie Hamrick won the womens over Karen Truelove-Krueger (IIRC),

How did Natalie fair? Karen was skiing really good today. I missed the final action taking the munchkin to the pool.

I want to say she won with 4 or 5 at 38. But earlier all 4 women were into 39. Again if memory serves me right.
