It’s getting to the point where it will be news when they do ski at Whistler. The alpine schedule was wiped out yet again Sunday, this time keeping the women from a training session, because of heavy rain and snow. The women’s downhill — Lindsey Vonn’s signature event — is scheduled for Wednesday, leaving only two more days to get in at least one training run, as the rules require. The men’s downhill is slated to begin today at 11:30 a.m. Denver time. Drier, cooler air is expected. “They’ve got some challenges because the top of the hill has been receiving snow, the middle has been a mixture of snow and rain, and the bottom has been pouring rain,” U.S. men’s head coach Sasha Rearick said.
