“Hey... thanks a lot for checking out life
in my little part of the world.”
As a full-time ski racer, the life Brigitte loves is packed
with over 50 races during four or five months in North America
and Europe.
The rest of the year is constant training both on and off
snow – to win by just hundreds of seconds.
At speeds of up to 130 kilometers or 80 miles an hour, Brigitte
rockets down ice covered mountains and amazingly races against
the clock in ALL five disciplines of international alpine
ski competitions:
Downhill - Two training runs and one timed
run - speeds 100 to 130 km
Super G - One timed run after visual inspection
only - speeds 70 to 100 km
Giant Slalom - Two timed runs on courses
with very few control gates
Slalom - Two timed runs on courses with many
control gates in difficult patterns
Combined - Occasional sets of Downhill &
Slalom races at the World Cup level |
