Episode Details

Joan Verdú and his team crushed five weeks of elite training in New Zealand, hitting legendary slopes like Roundhill and Coronet Peak—and even training alongside Norway’s World Cup squad—to build endurance and sharpen free skiing, giant slalom, and super-G skills—all without a single injury. Under head coach Natko Zrnčić Dim’s intense guidance, they executed a flawless plan, leaving Verdú feeling physically sharp and ready for the season opener in Sölden, Austria, on October 25th. Now injury-free and fully prepared, he’s back home to fine-tune before the real race season begins—setting the stage for a dominant World Cup run.
