Ski Hero's

Who's everyones ski hero? Everyone has a footie hero so surely we should have a ski hero also.My hero has to be Franz Klammer, also known as 'Kaiser Franz' in his native Austria. When I am careering down the Tomba run in Bansko in Feb this year, he is the guy I will try to emulate, although probably not look like!! Not for want of trying though.

Maybe not quite a hero, but Glen Plake would have to be right up there as a legend in my opinion.

It has to be Stefan Eberharter for me. (Before that it was Herman Maier)

But now he's retired I have moved on to Michael Walchoffer
