River Radamus hopes to ‘earn his stripes’ as an American downhiller

It’s a serious step to add downhill to one’s repertoire. Still, for Radamus, who lives in nearby Edwards and grew up racing with Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, it seemed only appropriate for the World Cup’s one-stop at his home hill to be the place for his inaugural downhill race. However, with both downhill races canceled at Beaver Creek due to the weekend's inclement weather, River Radamus’ World Cup downhill debut will have to wait.

Five Training Mistakes Every Ski Racer Should Avoid

One of the biggest lessons I've learned over my many years in our sport, as a racer and as a mental coach, and one that many young racers need help understanding, is that training does matter. Too often, racers waste their time during training; the things necessary for quality training are only there sometimes. I can't tell you how much it irritates me when I'm on the hill working with young racers and seeing them do things that prevent them from getting the most out of their training.
