The Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association (RMISA) Teams competed in the RMISA Alpine Qualifier Event and the University of Colorado Invitational this past weekend. In Steamboat Springs, the Alpine racers fought for their spot on the leaderboard in two days of giant slalom and one day of slalom. 

American ski racer Ryder Sarchett took home the men’s giant slalom gold medal and the Junior World GS Champion title. The competition was held on the Esserailloux race course at St. Jean d’Aulps resort, a challenging track that saw only 57 finishers out of a field of 152 entered. 

Itay's Sofia Goggia, the dominant force in the Downhill World Cup, encountered a difficult setback during a routine training session. In a challenging twist of fate, Goggia's quest for another season title was abruptly halted when she collided with a gate while training for the upcoming giant slalom event in Andorra

The American Downhillers caught up with Norwegian speed demon Aleksander Aamodt Kilde in a hospital in Innsbruck for this week’s podcast ahead of Kilde’s home downhill in Kvitfjell.

Switzerland's Daniel Yule was the slowest first-run skier to qualify for the finale. That made him the first skier to attack the final run. So when he defended his lead through 29 challengers to win the Chamonix slalom, he made World Cup history. Being the first to do so is extraordinarily special. He accomplished his miracle with a second run that was (-0.64) faster than anyone else.

Chamonix's Verte race venue buzzed with anticipation as the world's top racers geared up for a thrilling showdown. Amidst the towering peaks and eager spectators, French favorite Clement Noel vowed to dazzle his home crowd. And dazzle he did.

e tech races of the 2024 FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships started, with the world's fastest under-20 ski racers going head-to-head. The women competed in GS at St. Jean d'Aulps in the morning, and the men raced slalom under a pink sky at Morzine, two extraordinary resorts in France's Portes du Soleil region. 

The Edge Grinding Rubber, or "gummy stone," is one of my most utilized and thought-about pieces of tuning equipment. A gummy stone can be used to remove rust. (But if you use it on your base edge, do so sparingly). Base edges are easily affected and shouldn’t be meddled with). A gummy can also be used to take the spiky-ness off of a particularly bad burr (but a file and diamond stones will do the actual fixing).
