In light of recent feedback on our posting regarding the selections for the 2012 women's Development Team, the decision has been made to rescind some of our commentary on the matter and to try more diligently to let the facts stand for themselves. We referred to last year's D-Team program as tyranical and/or Totalitarianist; an attempt at humor via hyperbole. However, ski racing being a small community of intensely dedicated people, there was concern that our comments might not have been received as we intended, and we felt that it was ultimately unfair to D-Team coaches Seth McCadam and Mike Prado to opine on their program with sarcasm. To that end, we've tried to paint a picture with factual information and to leave the sarcasm and eye-rolling out of it, especially where the matters can be pretty intensely personal. If we've gotten some things wrong, or are lacking pieces of information that may help tell a more complete truth, please tell us so that we can make it right.
As of now, the piece has been edited to reflect the goal of fact-based coverage on this topic. One of the goals with this site is to create a forum where the ski racing community can communicate openly with each other about the issues in our sport. We want to keep the lines of communication open, so feel free to comment or email with any input.
