Brian (Steamboat): yeah tucker! how's the warmer weather going affect things on the course?

Tucker Hibbert: (8:57 PM ET ) The warmer weather wil help the track loosen up, if it is cold we have problems with ice. I enjoy racing when it is warm.

Tucker Hibbert: (8:58 PM ET ) I never count anyone out! Levi is very talented and fast.

Eric (Wisconsin): How does this year's course stack up to last years?
