Both Julia Mancuso and Lindsey Vonn are choosing to opt out of the Levi Slalom.  Their reasoning is that it is just too far to go for one race.  After the less than optimal performance in Soelden, they think the smarter decision is to remain in the U.S and continue training at Copper and Vail which have been said to have the best training conditions in the world at this time.  Conditions on the glaciers in Europe are not as good as they are at these resorts. The U.S men’s team has also delayed their arrival in Europe due to the better training opportunity at the USSA speed center.
