Yo my 9 year old is talented asf. Coaches have said he's got serious potential. But I moved my fam to a tropical island for mental health. Now he can't ski. I lay awake at night thinking of all the ski memories and excitement and the what ifs, seriously I don't know what to do in happy on this island. My net worth is $1m so I'm not rich.

Question- should I sell up and move to Europe near the mountain to get world class ski coaching. I can get work. But by doing that I'm basically throwing everything in all for skiing. It's basically like in my alcoholic aa meetings they say you can have alcohol, or everything else. Its the same feeling with ski racing.

Tell me do I sell the house and go or give it up? I ain't got enough to travel every season and renting doesn't give me enough

Its his dream. He is asking to go. Ski racingis what he wants to do in life

Hi all! Looking for tips as a new high school alpine ski racing coach in the Tahoe Basin. I have been skiing for 25 years with about 7 years of competitive race experience, but it will be my first time coaching high school athletes. A few questions:

What gear should I carry/what have you found helpful to have with you? Looking for a fairly comprehensive list as I'm a minimalist skier when I'm out on my own.

Any must-know tips or tricks to help athletes improve and succeed?

Overall tips for a first-time coach?

Thanks!

In her own words, she still feels pain when training, so they will take out her plate and clean said area. They might also intervene in her meniscus, but that's aomething that will be made in the moment.

After 4 years with Kästle, Ester Ledecka is the next big name signing with HEAD. HK, Lara Colturi and Alice Robinson already joined the most successful brand of the last years. Podiums have been quite rare for her in the last years, maybe the new equipment will change that.

How important is strength, agility and balance training when it comes to racing? Any advice on guides/videos? Specifically slalom and gs. Also any advice on recovery is welcome too. Also should I focus on general flexibility stretches as well? Are there any specific exercises etc I should do, or should I focus on doing any exercises/stretches that are gauged toward strength, flexibility balance etc.?

Basically I want to improve my dryland routine.

After racing in kind of a beer league for several years I'm looking to get better at masters or maybe even reach FIS level (one can dream lol). I'm 28.

I don't have access to high level coaching locally so I'm looking for a racing camp in Europe/Asia. End of last season I traveled to a couple 7 day courses which massively helped in developing the understanding of biomechanics and fundamentals of racing. Wanna get even more knowledge and practice this season.

Any recommendations? What's the best time to go and where? Any hidden gem programs that aren't easily found online? Any coaches I should ping and ask?

Regan Dewhirst joined GMVS, according to Facebook.

Lara Gut will not be racing next season:

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.
