    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.

    Sasha Rearick on Coaching

    Sasha Rearick has coached Bode Miller, Ted Ligety, Andrew Weibrecht…and most of the U.S. Men’s Team over an 18 year career. Now he’s at Apex2100 in France and more motivated than ever. We talk wacky courses, Sasha’s three core components to going fast, “expressing yourself” through skiing, the mind of Bode Miller, team dynamics, the role of coaches, leading the Apex2100 program, and—as always—so much more. The Skiing History Nugget is about one of the biggest comeback stories in ski racing.

    American College Ski Racing

    There is the potential for an age-limit rule change in NCAA skiing. So I got three veterans of the American ski racing world to help talk through it, and we ended up discussing far more than that. We briefly walked through the history of college ski racing in the US, then we talked about statistics, average ages, the international wave of skiers, the proposed age-limit rule, the balance between the U.S. Ski Team pipeline and college, the former U.S. University Team, high school post-graduate years, the difficulty of college race courses, supplementing training in the off-season, and more. Woof. I had three guests who helped navigate it all smoothly: Edie Morgan, a two-time Olympian and forefront American alpine journalist; Pete Dodge, former accomplished ski racer and Dartmouth College head coach for 33 years; and Aldo Radamus, formerly a World Cup head coach, Director of US Development, Director of SSCV, and is now currently Director at Team Summit Colorado.  Questions, suggestions, and grievances always welcome: arccityjimmy@gmail.com or on Instagram @jimmy_who_  Arc City merch available at arccity.org !

    The Art of World Cup Ski Tuning

    No one talks about technicians. Which is curious because they perform the most important job in ski racing aside from actually skiing. Bart Mollin is a technician for American tech skiers AJ Hurt and Nina O’Brien, and Ryan Mooney services Paula Moltzan’s skis. Their squad is steadily gaining in momentum on the World Cup these days. I sat down with both Ryan and Bart (another in-person interview!) and they spilled some secrets, told a few funny stories, discussed being married to your co-worker (Ryan and Paula), and generally scratched every ski racer’s intense itch to know about the somewhat-mystical, oft-overlooked craft of preparing world-class skis. The Skiing History Nugget is about the 1984 Olympics.

    Atle McGrath, At Long Last

    This episode is a year late. No matter: we overcame the broken SD card and recorded a new interview with Atle Lie McGrath. One of the most fun skiers on the World Cup circuit and wise beyond his years, we had a fantastic conversation. He talked through his knee injury sustained at the 2023 World Champs and his recovery plan. We discussed mental health, his team dynamics (including a funny story involving Lucas Braathen), the Norwegian development system (why is it so good right now?!), and the specifics of his equipment (we even get into the numbers). We dove deeply at every point, and there are some fantastic stories scattered throughout.

    Conversing on Climate Change with Julian Schütter

    We might as well talk about it, right? Austrian speed skier and climate advocate Julian Schütter visits Arc City (1:57) to work through this often-polarizing topic. We start from the very basic “Is climate change real?” and progress through every tough question I can muster. Julian does not pretend to be a scientist, but he’s well-read on the subject and has conversed deeply about this before, which is partly why I chose to interview him. I also chose him because he is helping lead the movement that is demanding the International Ski Federation (FIS) try harder to reduce emissions. No matter your thoughts on this issue, I guarantee you’ll learn something by listening. If you get to the end, I have a little History Crumb about the last glacial maximum (1:04:46).

    The National Brotherhood of Skiers is Doing The Work

    Three years after the world engaged in deep conversations about diversity and inclusion, the topic may have faded for some—but certainly not for the National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS). In August, nine young Black athletes supported by the NBS attended an elite conditioning and performance education camp at U.S. Ski Snowboard headquarters in Park City, UT. I Zoomed with three athletes on their last night at the camp: alpine skier Fantaye Gilbertson, mogul skier Kennedy Hicks, and Red Bull-sponsored snowboarder LJ Henriquez. We dove right into it and had a conversation that was sometimes deep and sometimes wonderfully light, and NBS president Henri Rivers joined us at the end with some powerful words. Afterwards, the Skiing History Nugget is about knee-high ski boots (49:02), and I read a short bulletin to wrap up the show (52:55).
