    Dane Spencer, Former World Cup Racer and Coach, on... Everything

    Dane Spencer, though long since retired from the World Cup, has remained in the thick of American ski racing. He has been behind numerous successful return-to-snow injury comebacks among current U.S. Ski Team athletes, as well as a concerted push through his independent camps to help educate young racers about the finer details of equipment maintenance—in addition to ski technique. Dane was teammates with both Ted Ligety and Bode Miller, so—Arc City protocol—we dug up some fantastic stories. Dane has a million other theories and anecdotes, including one about the time he almost died. And the Skiing History Nugget is back! It’s about the rapid increase in ski racing retirement age.

    Paula Moltzan Sends It

    Paula Moltzan continues to trend upwards—her bronze medal at the World Championships was just another step. Of course, I ask her about her stellar results recently, but also about her team (one of my favorites on the World Cup), her youth at the slalom factory on Buck Hill in Minnesota, having her husband as her technician, her influence on young skiers, her time off of the US Ski Team attending the University of Vermont, the advice she gets from Mikaela Shiffrin, and her all-out style that gives her fans heart palpitations and sometimes ends with her spinning in a circle at high speeds. Also, this week there’s a small mailbag at the end (don’t forget to send me emails!).

    Bryce Bennett Makes Some Good Points

    Bryce Bennett does not mince words, which makes him fun to converse with. The tallest man on the World Cup circuit also takes the title for longest Arc City episode to date--but the full listen is worth it, especially his advice to young skiers near the end. Bryce has a keen eye for many aspects of the sport, and we covered a lot of them, including equipment fine-tuning, the high injury rate in World Cup downhill, the US development system, trying to be a leader, and grit, among others. Followers of the infamous 2020 College Skiing debate may be excited to know that Bryce addressed that as well.

    Colorado Mountain College: An Affordability Model is at Risk of Disappearing

    Another year, another ski team on the chopping block. While it’s not certain we can save the Colorado Mountain Ski Team, it’s at least worth telling their story, because they fill a crucial role in the American ski racing world, and they do it quite well. I talked with CMC head coach Scott Tanner and senior ski team member Matthew Macaluso about their team: the success of recent members, its affordability, and all the relevant details concerning its potential dismantling. They got a good thing going on over there in Steamboat Springs, aka: “Ski Town USA.” Questions, suggestions, and grievances always welcome: arccityjimmy@gmail.com or on Instagram @jimmy_who_ 15% off at SYNCperformance.com : ArcCity15 OnLocation bookings: https://hospitality.milanocortina2026.org/en This podcast is presented by Ski Racing Media and partnered with SKICOSMOS

    Coaching the American Greats with Mike Day

    Mike Day has witnessed a lot of skiing greatness firsthand. He’s coached Bode Miller, Ted Ligety, and Mikaela Shiffrin, among others. And he graciously let us plumb the depths of his knowledge: Bode stories, observations of Hirscher, the common thread through all champions’ mindsets, a hypothetical debate about the skiing improvements in the last 10 years, and many more fully-developed pearls of alpine skiing wisdom. There’s a small Skiing History Nugget at the end, also.

    How to Run a FIS Race

    Who makes up the jury? How does timing work? How many people does it take to run a race? There is a lot more to it than meets the eye--and it's surprisingly fun to talk about. John Norton, executive director and alpine program director at NYSEF, runs me through every detail, from chief of race, to ski patrol, to hand-timing scenarios, to FIS codexes and scheduling. Any ski racer worth their salt would enjoy taking the time to peek behind the scenes with this episode.

    Ted Ligety, the GAOAT

    The Greatest Arcer of All Time should need no introduction. (He is a five-time World Champion, two-time Olympic Champion, and the man who tamed the 35-meter GS ski). Ted and I talked about the end of his career in 2021, how his back is doing now, the specific technology that helped him crush his competition, what he thinks of World Cup skiers now, his current endeavor developing skis for DPS, and competitiveness—you do not want to miss his take on “trusting the process” towards the end.

    Collegiate Club Ski Teams (and Middlebury's Lack Theorof)

    We don’t talk about this enough: there are 128 colleges and universities across the US with a club ski team that competes in USCSA. (Far more than the 22 that compete in the NCAA). It’s a whole universe of fun, low-cost ski racing. First, former Dartmouth club team captain Colton Sankey takes us through the basics of USCSA racing. Then we talk to Noah Willson (19:12), who is currently trying to start a club ski team at Middlebury College—and facing a surprisingly staunch opposition. If you’re interested in helping Noah, you can follow him @middclubalpine, go to www.middclubalpine.com, or contact me, and I’ll give you his email.
