FollowIt’s time to get the race weekend underway. Val was out early for work, and I wasn’t far behind her as I need to get to the Co-op before the village is completely overwhelmed by spectators. Wengernalp is a popular spot for viewing the action, just look at the amount of skis stuck in the snow by the BKW advert.
More spectators at Allmend. Today’s course doesn’t come past here, but skiers can watch on the big screen.
Another day, another air show.
Back in Wengen, shopkeepers and hoteliers are hoping to have a good weekend feeding and watering the fans. Outdoor catering structures have sprung up selling all sorts of warm snacks and, of course, beer.
The Super-G race was won by Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. Swiss racers came second and third, and altogether Switzerland had 5 racers in the top 10.
