Being an ex-racer and a father of racers who tuned a shitton of skis I really appreciate these details of ski maintenance.

I completely feel you. Several years ago I learned how to tune my skis myself from A to Z (young ex-racer) and after that, the feeling on the slopes is unmatched. Maybe I cannot drill a hole to the wall, but boy, I will make sure you will make that turn steady on the block of the ice :D
@TheSlandis Жыл бұрын
@ Yeah, a well tuned ski makes a big difference. I took my skis to a quality shop because I needed some edge work and they waxed the skis as well. Unfortunately, I did not rewax the skis before a powder day and they were dragging. Before I realized how far off the wax was, I jumped off a cat track and the skis just stopped. I did some serious damage to my meniscus that eventually required surgery. That injury eventually led to a knee replacement so I will not trust any wax that I did not apply.

The physics of your ski techs secrets is fascinating. I have followed this process every chance I get. The hand tuning of your edges is pure magic. When you have techs that understand the physics that much with tiny variations it is just mind blowing the thought they put into your skis. I wish they could tell more. The physics of the racers brain in tune with the skis I bet is like a perfecly tuned and balanced Indy 500 car. I really liked that section of this video. I hope you can share more with your techs along the way. Not so much secrets but just more like on raceday. It would be cool to see how much a race does to your skis setup after the race is over and you have smoked the field.

And not only emotionally, but even more so to analyze every detail to get better the next time,. When you have basically achieved everything, it is very impressive to be able to do so.

The ski tech stuff is brilliant... of course for most mortals we have one pair of skis and one or two waxes that have to last a week but the reasoning behind it all is great!

There are a typically a ton of Brazilians/Argentinians def add a major festive vibe to all. Be sure to ask for a room on the top floor facing the lake. Those rooms have the most quiet for great sleep and have the best views.

Was this an Atomic session then rather than a USA one? Just wondering about hubby being there - great for them both of course as they must spend so much time apart... but I, perhaps incorrectly, thought it would have been more national team training. Its quite unique the World Cup as it is sort of nations, and teams, and indiviuals but it certainly seems like one big family for the most part.
