You don't have to go all the way to Germany, or even Canada, to see
great slalom racing. We've got some of the best in the world right here
in the USofA. Here's a link to most of it

Come next spring, when the season starts, contact me and I'll use my
considerable influence in the sport to secure you an exciting and
prestigious position (read: warm bodies needed) as a slalom gate judge
for the Ocoee DoubleHeader and the Southeastern Championships, held on
the Ocoee Olympic course and the Nantahala.
