If you haven't read the Alpine Race Consulting (ACR) blog written by Bob Needell yet, you're missing out on some awesome insider information about World Cup races. I won't tell you too much about it because there is a lot I could say, but he recently got picked up by SkiRacing.com to do a column for them! Definitely worth checking out!
Check out the ACR blog here, and the SkiRacing column here.

And if you're artisticly inclined, check out NBC's 'Design Lindsey's Helmet' contest:
"Lindsey invites you to enter for a chance to contribute your original artwork for the customized helmet she will wear on the slopes in Vancouver. Whether you are an aspiring professional graphic designer or just like to doodle all day, this is your chance to inspire her, amaze her, and convince her that your design will be the one she wants for her Olympic helmet."
The contest opens on November 23rd and there are some great prizes to be won.

I was going to include this with my last post but when I started writing it grew into it's own idea and I felt it deserved it's space:
If you're not using Twitter I highly suggets you jump on the bandwagon (or into the new age of social media) and check it out. Even if you don't post anything yourself it's an extremely convenient way to get updated on people and things that interest you.
For thos who have never heard of Twitter or just don't know what it's all about I suggest you take a look at the Twitter FAQ here.
Here is a list of CAST members currently twittering:
Yours truly: @dustincook
Manuel O-Paradis: @manuelracing
Mike Janyk: @mikejanyk
Gen Simard: @gensimard
Kelly McBroom: @kellymcbroom
Anna Goodman: @annagoody
And some other notable racers:
Lindsay Vonn: @lindsayvonn
Ted Ligety: @tedligety
Aksel Lund Svindal: @akselsvindal
Lara Gut: @laragut

And finally some organizations and news sources that I follow:
Alpine Canada: @alpine_canada
US Ski Team: @usskiteam
CTV Olympics: @ctvolympics
Ski Racing Mag: @skiracingmag
Alpine Ontario: @alpineontario
Alpine Race Consulting (Greg Needell): @arcgn
UPDATE: I've decided to add this as a section of my wesbsite. I'll continually update it as more CAST athletes and other skiers join the ranks, along with other interesting tweeps. If you know of anyone I should add, email me at dustin@dustincook.ca.

Another batch of links for those interested in the goings on of the ski world. Many of you have probably read about or seen these but for those who haven't, here you go!
Canadian businessman and owner of the Ottawa Senators, Eugene Melynk, recently launched a fundraiser aimed directly at Alpine Canada and the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.
"This fundraising initiative will offer 3,000 special ACA memberships. All members will receive a two-year subscription to SRC (Ski Racing Canada) Magazine and access to all of the magazine's digital and e-newsletter materials. Members will also have a one in four chance to win more than 700 prizes valued at $250,000. Each membership will cost $100 with all proceeds going directly to fund costs associated with housing and feeding the national ski team athletes competing in 2010."
All the details about the membership can be seen on the ACA website here.
The CTV Olympic site is a great source for Vancouver 2010 Olympic news on every Olympic sport, skiing included. The site is updated several times a day, with the Alpine Skiing section updated nearly every day.
And finally, some of the guys on the Norwegian Ski Team (or the "Attacking Vikings" as they've dubbed themselves) were having some fun high in the Chilean mountains and decided to share their follies with the world. It's a pretty hilarious video, check it out!
