Here's few photos from last week of skiing World Cup.

It might look like happy day, but believe me... it's just juice name, not overall mood of all of us, who had to spent about 4 hours on course.

I picked a bit different photos this time, so I would appreciate some feedback. "Standard" ones are as always on PhotoSI web
.Considering my first four skiing World Cup in 2008, I must say, my 2008 wish, didn't really come true. I wished for nice, or at least not rainy/snowy weather when covering outdoor sports. And in 12 days of 2008, 4 World cup races, I had pleasure to be wet 4 times... yup every single time! In whole least year with 30 or so skiing World cup covered, I was wet exactly once. Now 4 out of 4... hmm.. let's wait and see what winter will still bring me, but base on current average, whatever comes, it won't be good.
Have fun,
Primoz
