    Lila Lapanja update

    Many may know of Lila Lapanja, who's almost 23, and a native of Truckee, CA. Lila, other than some Schiffrin kid was arguably our next best SL skier {perhaps a touch behind Resi}.

    This is an oldish story, from back in June, but its got me thinking. Goergl, the oldest skier to win a World Cup Race, announced her retirement in June, stating that she didn't feel the motivation to prepare for another race season, let alone the Olympics. With the discussions we've had in...

    Females in the Fall Line - a Ski Racing article

    SkiRacing has this article, which I thought was interesting and then I thought.... In a sport where we talk about the gender gap, it fascinates me that we talk about Lindsey and Michaela more than just about any other ski racer, well there's Bode too. From a personal standpoint, I'm fairly...

    FIS Pulls Aspen from World Cup Calendar Until Technical Aspects Are Addressed

    This should get interesting. In this article on Ski Area Management, an announcement has been made that FIS will not bring the World Cup back to Aspen until some technical aspects are addressed. From the article: Sarah Lewis said FIS World Cup races wouldn’t return to Aspen until some...

    Mikaela Shiffrin

    I was going to start a thread about this one article, but then I thought, we need a Mikaela Shiffrin thread. While the article is titled Meet the Mikaela Shiffrin Nobody Sees, It made me wonder how much of the lives of these athletes we truly see.
