SPEED SKI _ Trace Max Sachs
The World Cup Finals were just completed in Cervinia Italy on Monday April 2nd. This season we had a series of 8 World Cup races. The World Cup Tour took us to Austria, Canada, Sweden, Finland and Italy.

I had a great beginning of the season winning the first two World Cups in Austria and Canada. After a bad crash while free skiing in Verbier, things took a different turn. I overextended the exterior ligament in my left knee, as well as damaging the meniscus. In addition I had a hairline fracture in my upper rib cage. I immediately went to a physical therapist after the accident, with only a week to recover before the next race in Sweden. I really wasn't sure I would be able to race at all.

After flying to Sweden, I gave it my best shot at the race in Hundfjallet. I was skiing quite well, but I think the fatigue got the better of me by the end of the race. I ended up in 5th place. I was just happy to be speed skiing again, and I was satisfied with my finish. I continued in Sweden at the next event in Idre. I started to feel better and was more comfortable on the steep track with no compression. I placed second there.

After a 5 hour drive and another flight to Northern Finland on the Russian border, I arrived to race in Salla for two World Cup events. In the first race, I was winning in all of the training runs and semi finals. I think the fatigue got the better of me again, I lost focus in the final and ended up in 2nd place. In the second race, I was feeling better and I won the semi final as well as the final. This put me in the lead of the overall World Cup title by only 3 points.

After 4 more international flights to get back to the Alps, I had 1 day to prepare for the World Cup Finals in Cervinia Italy. I was quite confident going into the race. I have won there several times before and I am usually very comfortable on that track. I knew in order to win the globe I only had to beat one woman, Anna-Karine Modin of Sweden, who was only 3 points behind me. I proved to be the woman to beat in the finals. I was 3 kph faster than the 2nd place woman Emilie Wolff. I also finished 4th in the men's speeds. It was my sweetest World Cup victory yet. I went from a lead of only 3 points ahead to 18 points ahead of the hot young Swedish racer Anna-Korine Modin. My final points were 165, Anna-Korine had 147 in 2nd, and Sanna Tinstrand had 100 for 3rd place. I'm am extremely happy with my 5th consecutive World Cup Champion Title.

The season isn't over yet! We still have 4 more races, which will hopefully be at very high speeds. We start in Les Arcs France with the Red Rock Cup, one of the longest running races in the history of speed skiing. We continue in Les Arcs with the first of the Speed Masters series. This race has the potential of being a World Record breaking race. After a week in Les Arcs, we head over to Verbier Switzerland which will host the 2007 FIS World Championships. This should be a great race and the first time since the 92 Olympics that FIS will allow us to go over the current 200 kph speed limit for FIS races. As the reigning World Champion from 2005, I hope to ski well and retain my title. The final race will also be in Verbier and it will be the Swiss counterpart to the Speed Masters event. There will be an overall title for the combined Speed Masters Race - (Pro World Champion).

I'm still looking for media coverage and sponsorship to help finish out my season. I don't have a ticket back to the US yet and my funds are quickly diminishing with all of the travel expenses that I have incurred this season. If you are interested in lending a hand, please send me an email. I really appreciate your support.

SAN FRANCISCO ICER is thrilled to announce the next evolution of Esurance ICER AIR, an action sports, music and lifestyle event.

ICER AIR gained notoriety in 2005 by laying down 16,000 cubic feet of snow on one of San Francisco�s steepest streets and hosting a big air ski and snowboard competition.

�Esurance ICER AIR is a constantly-evolving event. Each year we try to raise the bar, to do something a bit bigger and a bit crazier than we have in the past,� said Glen Griffin, ICER founder and president. �Our main mission will always be to bring the mountains to the city, showcasing some of the most amazing athletes in the world in an urban setting.�

Esurance ICER AIR became the first and only stadium event in the United States. Esurance ICER AIR will feature a 2-day multi-sport event. This year�s event will take place at renowned AT&T Park, a major San Francisco landmark and home to the San Francisco Giants.

Esurance ICER AIR will feature a big air ski and snowboard competition, freestyle motocross, skate and BMX vert and street courses, wakeboarding, 60 exhibitors, 2 music stages, and a beer garden. Olympic and X Games athletes will share the spotlight with a surprise headliner band. ICER AIR has firmly established itself as a world-class event in the action sports industry.

�Esurance ICER AIR has become the official kick-off to winter as the best athletes in the world and all of the top players in the industry converge in San Francisco for one of the coolest events ever,� stated event host and Olympic Gold Medalist Jonny Moseley.
