Probably about as pumped as I've ever been for a women's slope event.

Will the jumps be too big? Will Lisa toss a dub? What will go down, who's gonna win?

On tonight/early tomorrow morning. Finals 1 am - 2 am CBC, qualis earlier then that.

At least half these girls are spot fillers, probably only half a dozen that have any kind of chance

You can definitely tell who the more athletic women are. Some really fight through a bad landing while others just collapse like rag dolls.

So looks like this Qualifying round will be televised on NBC tomorrow at 3:30 with Finals tomorrow in primetime in the states

Does anyone know if the finals in a couple hours will be televised or at least streamed like this?

Same question goes for Snowboard pipe tomorrow morning. It'll no doubt be ruined before it airs in primetime and i'd like to watch live

maybe it's because they are still technically competing? probably would have someone on it if she skied to the bottom.
