Episode Details

Ted Ligety is back to talk about the ‘26 Olympic games, and the performances of Breezy Johnson, Lindsey Vonn, Federica Brignone, Mikaela Shiffrin, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, Ryan Cochran-Siegel, Franjo von Allmen, and what specific attribute makes Marco Odermatt such an all-time great. Then, we talk about the ‘carving renaissance’ we are currently experiencing, and Ted walks us through the new DPS Pisteworks skis he’s been developing.
