Seth has arrived in Vancouver and is now less than one week away from the big day, which means it's going to be a whirlwind six days. Here are couple of quick updates on stuff coming up:
-
Seth is scheduled to appear on the Today Show on NBC tomorrow morning at 7:30am with Matt Lauer for a quick Olympic preview piece. If you miss it, you should be able to catch the spot at http://today.msnbc.msn.com/
-
That Today Show story will be followed up by a longer Olympic profile, also with Matt Lauer, which is scheduled to air next Monday morning, and will include footage and interviews shot here at Sugarloaf. More details on that to come.
-
The entire SBX competition will happen in one day (Monday, Feb 15) at Cypress Mountatin, and will be broadcast live on NBC. There will be an official Race Viewing party in the Widowmaker Lounge in the Base Lodge from 2-4pm on Monday where Sugarloafers can gather to cheer Seth on.

That's the quick and dirty. We'll have more updates throughout the week, and if Seth manages to find some down time in Vancouver look for a post from him as well. And if you'd like to pass along any words of encouragement to Seth, leave them in the comments section below.
Seth takes off next Monday for Telluride and the next (and hopefully final) step in qualifying for the Olympic team, and he's been plenty busy during his last two weeks at home, with interviews and photo shoots galore, including a brief jaunt to NYC for an appearance on the Today Show and an interview with Matt Lauer, a shoot with Maine Home and Design magazine, a interview and photo shoot for Sunday's Sun Journal, and a commercial shoot this morning. The crew hit the mountain at about 6am and scored some great full moon and sunrise shots as the clouds cleared out. (check out the pics below).
On Monday Seth will head for Telluride, where he'll have his biggest competition so far this year at the second World Cup. A good finish here could lock up a spot on the Olympic team and leave the rest of the season open to concetrate on nothing but training for Vancouver.
