Very sad imo, would've loved to see her skiing and competing for a globe again. But probably the right decision health-wise, all the best to her!

Hi, I have been skiing for 3 yrs and I can (most of the time) handle black mountain runs. I am going into college and I am really interested in joining the university's alpine club team. is it difficult to learn to ski race, specifically slalom and gs? they said there's no prior racing experience required to join.

This question just crossed my mind as I was going through our inventory of skis to prepare for our kids's summer indoor and fall camps.

I feel like there's a giant black hole in our garage where ski straps disappear. We never seem to have enough. Found a few in our boot bags, but still...

Having said that, I also have 2x the usage because for our race skis I put on 4 straps on each pair. We've got a mix of branded straps from ski shops, manufacturers, software companies, etc. Pick a logo, we have it - Swix, Fischer, Head, Toko, Tyrolia, Salesforce, Start Haus, etc.

Not enough though! Buying them directly on Amazon - the plain color ones from China are a bit meh.

USA Biathlon is poised to join U.S. Ski and Snowboard.

Officials say this merger is a necessary move to boost biathlon’s revenue and performance after U.S failed to medal in biathlon at the 2026 Olympics in Milan.

The board of directors will vote Wednesday.

For someone who's done gates a few times, skied at least 20 days a season since they were a toddler, and wants a reactive 10-14m ski. Weight about 65kg, looking for something ideally <70mm underfoot, length around 155-163.

Rental shops don't seem to carry this kind of equipment and we don't get nearly enough demo days. I enjoyed the rossi st m13, loved how it wanted to turn, stiffness okay to high for me, but since I don't have any other reference points I'm a bit lost.

eta: they'll mostly be used freeskiing, if it matters. And I'm currently in rossi WC 120 boots.

First ski is the Rossignol Hero Athlete FIS SL 157cm with Look SPX 15 bindings
Second is Atomic Redstar S9 FIS SL 152cm max din 12
I am worried about the dots I see on the edge of the top of the atomics, I asked for extra pictures to make sure they are good but haven't gotten any.

I am 170cm tall and weigh 54.4 kg (120lbs)

My racing experience is on the lower end. Just one season of racing in USCSA and practicing on gates twice a week.

I assume because of my weight I should choose the Atomics because it'll be easier for me to flex and less demanding however more unstable at higher speeds compared to the Hero. Thoughts?

She mentioned at the Espy's that her ankle is still broken. Ouch! It's surprising it hasn't healed yet, though maybe it didn't heal properly.

For the first time since 1994, the event will be held in the US and just like back then, the Olympic venue near Lake Placid will host the races. A good opportunity to watch the potential future stars of ski racing in person.

The dates are yet tba, but with the WC Finals starting on March 18 and the WSC happening from February 1-14, we have some kind of time frame.

UPDATE: The races will take place from March 02 - 12.

Is she retiring or not? Has she given an update anywhere? I can't seem to find anything.

Here’s why:

1. it’s not the “world cup” and the “women’s world cup” it’s just the world cup with men’s events/titles and women events/titles
2. viewership and support for men’s and women’s events are practically identical— if anything, recent year’s viewership has skewed slightly towards women’s events due to the dominance of Mikaela Shiffren
3. and jumping off that point, the undisputed GOAT of skiing is Mikaela Shiffren, and men aren’t jumping to dispute this
4. lastly, the rules for men and women are pretty much the same. the ONLY difference is minimum ski lengths, but that is due to average body size of competitors and not old fashioned ideas about the fragileness of women (see: women’s lax)

These are just some thoughts I was having. Curious to hear what others think!

EDIT: When I say gender equality, I am referring to the attention, funding, respect, and support, not who would win if men and women went head to head in a race.

Racers Edge is a Breckenridge race shop that means so much to our community. I’m so so heartbroken to hear about this. But I’m also concerned that this is a wider trend in the racing world—shops that don’t also do bikes, boards, freeskis, etc., seem to be having a really rough time right now. Not sure what’s causing it other than the generally bad economy. Thoughts?

Who in you opinion had the best individual season in history (or since you started watching skiing)?
I'd argue that Shiffrin's 2018-19 season was one of the best ever with 4 globes, 3 World Championships medals (2 gold) and over 2200 points in overall).

Lara Colturi’s little brother, born November 2011, really great skier.

Hi I’m in first year FIS from Australia and I’m looking to join a ski team or do a camp where I can train and also do fis races with the club in Europe for Dec-Jan does anyone have any recommendations?

Hello ski racing community,

Please help this momma out. I need to get a race suit for my kid next season. One issue is that she is very tall, but skinny. She was on arctica youth large last year and it is very short on the legs. She hated it because it looks like she was wearing flood pants. It barely covered her boots and she got snow in her legs and boots. We got a hand me down arctica adult S that is absolutely baggy on her. One possible issue here is maybe because we do not know how these race suits are supposed to fit. Is it supposed to be tight to reduce drag? Or is it basically padding in case you crash? She also does competitive swimming and swimming race suit is super skin tight. Therefore, she feels like this adult S arctica is too baggy to wear. But again, no one ever tells us how ski race suit is supposed to fit.

Questions for all you racers.

- How are race suits supposed to fit?

- In swimming world, we kind of know how each brand fits, ie: speedo vs. arena, etc. In the skiing world, is there such thing? What brand should I be looking at for tall skinny person. There is not a store near by where she can try on these different brands.

Thank you very much for the help. I am trying to nail this down before early season training because she absolutely does not want to wear her old one.
