American Downhillers Ready To Tackle Birds of Prey

By Megan Harrod
November, 30 2017
Thomas Beisemeyer

The North American tour rolls on, with the American Downhillers taking on a perfectly prepared Birds of Prey piste and the women up in Lake Louise for a weekend of speed and exhilaration.

Ted Ligety (Park City, UT), who has won an unprecedented six times on this Birds of Prey track, leads the men into battle this weekend, while Steven Nyman (Sundance, UT) has yet to decide if he’ll return to action after rehabbing his knee after an injury sustained in Garmisch, Germany last January. Travis Ganong (Squaw Valley, CA), who won a silver medal in the downhill at the 2015 World Championships in Beaver Creek, posted the sixth-fastest time in Wednesday’s training run.

Keep an eye on the American Downhillers - they were itching to get back on this track after unseasonably warm weather forced a cancellation last season. Tom Johnston—a.k.a. “Cowboy”—and the fabulous Talon Crew have worked wonders on this surface once again and the guys are saying it’s hard and fast. That means it’ll hold up for the guys in the back of the back, which is good considering Andrew Weibrecht (Lake Placid, NY), Tommy Biesemeyer (Keene, NY) and Ryan Cochran-Siegle (Burlington, VT) all had blazing fast times in the first of two training runs from the back.

This weekend marks the 10-year anniversary of Weibrecht’s bibbo from 54 to 10th place finish in 2007, and the last time the speed men were in Beaver Creek, Ligety and Weibrecht scored a double podiumed in the super-G and led four into the top 11.  
Up north in Lake Louise, Canada - lovingly referred to by many as “Lake Lindsey” - the women take on a pair of downhill races and a super-G on a track where Lindsey Vonn (Vail, CO) has 18 career World Cup

wins - that’s 10 more than anyone else in history. In Thursday’s training run, Vonn posted the second-fastest time behind the Czech Republic’s Ester Ledecka. Vonn led six American women into the top 12, including Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, CO) who landed in 12th. Keep an eye on Breezy Johnson (Victor, ID) and Jackie Wiles (Portland, OR) - two rising stars that could do something special this weekend.

Dan Hicks will call the Birds of Prey action from Beaver Creek, joined by analysts Bode Miller, the most decorated U.S. Olympic skier in history, U.S. Ski Team alumnus Steve Porino and reporter Carolyn Manno also join the action for NBC Sports.

Steve Schlanger and U.S. Ski Team alumnus AJ Kitt will call the action in Lake Louise. See who to watch and where to catch all the action below.

Shiffrin Dominates Xfinity Killington Cup Slalom

By U.S. Ski & Snowboard
November, 26 2017

KILLINGTON, Vt. (Nov. 26, 2017) – In front of 16,000 fans, her 96-year-old Nana and her best friend, Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, Co.) skied with dominating precision, powered by a thunderous roar from the crowd, to win her first FIS Ski World Cup slalom of the season on a steep, windy, icy track at the Xfinity Killington Cup at Vermont's Killington Resort.

“My Nana and my best friend are here, and those are two people that I rarely see, and they were able to come and watch me race here last year and this year, and these are just the moments that are above the Olympics, above the World Championships, above anything else,” Shiffrin said. “This day, in and of itself, will make this season successful for me.”

Shiffrin opened up a 0.89-second advantage in the first run and then blew the doors off the competition in the second to win by 1.64 seconds over Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova - winner of the season-opening slalom in Levi, Finland earlier this month. Austria’s Bernadette Schild finished third.

With a cold north wind blowing, a number of athletes struggled in the second run with visibility and the slick, icy course. Switzerland’s Wendy Holdener skied to second in the first run, but then blew out early on in the second run, hiked, blew out again and DNFed. Sweden’s Frida Hansdotter also struggled, dropping from fourth in the first run to fifth in the second. That left the door open for Vlhova, who only managed fifth in the first run, to remain in the leader’s hot seat after a stellar second run, and put the pressure on Shiffrin.

“I saw her in the first gates before her mistake, and she wants it. She is skiing well,” Shiffrin said of Holdener. “Petra had a great second run, so there are quite a few girls who want it just as much as I do and the difference comes with the skiing, comes with the discipline, and that’s where I’m going to come out on top. Right now, I’m just focusing on my skiing, because if I focus on winning, it’s too stressful.”

With the season’s opening tech events in the rearview mirror, it’s time for Shiffrin to now focus on the upcoming speed events at Lake Louise, Alberta.

“I’m building momentum even more so now in GS and slalom. I’m really excited for the first speed races in Lake Louise,” she added. “Once you get the ball rolling, it’s usually a bit easier to keep it rolling, but anything can happen. So now I’m just trying to focus on my skiing and having fun with it.”

Resi Stiegler (Jackson Hole, Wyo.) finished 21st. Katie Hensien (Redman, Wash.) made her World Cup debut at Killington, but did not finish the first run. With her victory, Shiffrin extended her overall World Cup lead to 84 points over Vlhova. Shiffrin and Vlhova are also tied for the overall World Cup slalom lead with 180 points each.

Up next, the ladies FIS Ski World Cup moves to Lake Louise with a pair of downhill races and a super G, Dec. 1-3.

Ganong Top American in Lake Louise Super G
The first super G of the season for the men’s FIS Ski World Cup took place at Lake Louise, Alberta Sunday as Norway’s Kjetil Jansrud took the victory. Austrians Max Franz and Hannes Reichelt finished second and third respectively.

Travis Ganong (Squaw Valley, Calif.) was the top American in 16th, as Tommy Biesemeyer (Keene, NY) was 20th and Andrew Weibrecht (Lake Placid, NY) 21st. The men’s World Cup moves to Beaver Creek for the Birds of Prey Dec. 1-3 with a super G, downhill and giant slalom.

Shiffrin Second In Xfinity Killington Cup GS

By U.S. Ski & Snowboard
November, 25 2017

KILLINGTON, Vt. (Nov. 25, 2017) – Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, Colo.) took a huge step in her Olympic season giant slalom preparation, finishing second in the Xfinity Killington Cup, the second GS race of the FIS Ski World Cup. Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg took her second-straight giant slalom victory, as Italy’s Manuela Moelgg finished third.

“This is definitely a step in the right direction after Soelden,” said Shiffrin, who finished fifth at the season-opening giant slalom last month in Austria. “I felt a lot more confident with my skiing today and I’m excited to keep that going. It was a sweet race today, it was really fun to ski.”

In front of a record-breaking crowd of more than 18,000 screaming fan at Killington – which eclipsed the previous record of 16,000 set last year at Killington – Shiffrin drilled her first run, leaving just a 0.26-second margin to first-run leader Rebensburg, winner of the season-opener in Soelden.

With a thundering crowd, overcast skies and light precipitation moving in for the second run, Shiffrin took a few risks to maintain her podium position.

“I felt like I had a couple little bobbles where I felt myself losing time,” she said. “But I also took a little bit of extra risk where I may have gained some time. It wasn’t like one of my flawless training runs where I felt like: ‘Oh my gosh it’s the fastest that course could be skied.’ But it was definitely one of my best race runs.”

With her second-place finish, Shiffrin maintained her overall World Cup lead by five points over Rebensburg heading into Sunday’s slalom, the second run of which will be broadcast LIVE on NBC at 1:00 p.m. EST.

“The mentality I had today is the same mentality I need to have tomorrow in order to bring out some of my better skiing,” Shiffrin said heading into Sunday’s slalom. “It’s a new day, a new race and new competition. And I’m excited to go for it!”

Megan McJames (Park City, Utah) finished 29th.  AJ Hurt (San Francisco, Calif.) made her World Cup debut, finishing 45th in the first run.

Bennett Top American in Lake Louise Downhill
The speed skiers kicked off their season today with the downhill in Lake Louise. Beat Feuz of Switzerland squeaked out the win over Matthias Mayer of Austria, who was second and Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway in third. Bryce Bennett (Squaw Valley, Calif.) was the top American Downhiller of the day in 21st. The super G goes off Sunday at 2:00 p.m. EST, led by Travis Ganong (Squaw Valley, Calif.), who has podiumed twice at Lake Louise.

It’s Back: The Beast of the East

By Megan Harrod
November, 22 2017
Big Crowds at Killington in 2016

The domestic FIS Ski World Cup races are underway this week, as the excitement builds for the tech women in Killington, Vermont and the American Downhillers in Lake Louise.

Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, Colo.), who attended Vermont's Burke Mountain Academy, looks for victory on home soil, where she’ll be competing in front of family and friends—including her best friend who will be in Killington to watch the action. Last year, the World Cup returned to the east for the first time in 25 years, and Killington played host to a record number of fans. With 30,000 spectators over two days viewing the best women skiers in the world on the steep and difficult Superstar trail, the crowds were among the biggest North American skiing has seen.

Shiffrin will aim to defend her reign as slalom “Superstar” gained last year, and she also seeks redemption, after finishing fifth in the World Cup opener in Soelden, Austria, and second behind Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova in Levi, Finland. This weekend will also mark the World Cup debut of two young U.S. Ski Team athletes, including AJ Hurt (Squaw Valley, Calif.) and Katie Hensien (Redmond, Wash.).

Up north in the picturesque Lake Louise, Canada, the American Downhillers prepare for their domestic speed series kickoff. The speed men will be led by Steven Nyman (Sundance, Utah), who has been rehabbing his knee since a gnarly crash last year in Garmisch, Germany and Travis Ganong (Squaw Valley. Calif.), who has podiumed twice in Lake Louise. It is still unknown whether Nyman will kick out of the start gate on race day, but he plans to ski the training runs and see how he feels.

Jared Goldberg (Holladay, Utah) and Tommy Biesemeyer (Keene, NY) both posted fast times in the recent FIS downhill races at Copper Mountain, Colorado, with Goldberg setting the pace in the first race, among a stacked field of Germans, Italians, Austrians and more.

Dan Hicks will call the action from Killington, Vermont, joined by analysts Bode Miller, the most decorated U.S. Olympic skier in history, and former U.S. Ski Team alumnus Steve Porino, and reporter Carolyn Manno.

Steve Schlanger and U.S. Ski Team alumnus Will Brandenburg will call the action in Lake Louise. See who to watch and where to catch all the action below.

Dan Hicks will call the action from Killington, joined by analysts Bode Miller, the most decorated U.S. Olympic skier in history, former World Cup skier Steve Porino, and reporter Carolyn Manno.

NBC, Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA, and NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app will combine to present coverage of this weekend’s event. For more information on the Xfinity Killington Cup, including a detailed event and TV schedule, visit usskiandsnowboard.org.
