We got up a bit earlier today to go to the Men's Super Combined (one run of downhill and one run of slalom). The event had originally been scheduled for Tuesday. Again, it was brilliant sunshine and quite cold -- perfect conditions for the race. This turned out to be a much more exciting race than the other ski races we attended since there were two parts. Bode Miller had a good, but not exceptional run on the downhill. However, he followed it up with an excellent run on the slalom and captured gold. There was about a 90 minute break between the two races during which Maria and a I took the chair down to the Whistler Creek base and hiked back up to the finish area -- twice!
