Mikaela Shiffrin | Trying Something New

The joy has always been in getting better. This season, I'm chasing it for me...

Hi Everyone!

Back with another solo podcast. Before the season gets hectic, I wanted to talk about my racing plan in my own space and my own words: this year is an exploration.

After 16 years on the World Cup, I'm giving myself the freedom to follow where my curiosity is pulling me right now, which means more focus on GS and super-G and a lighter slalom schedule, starting with Killington. Less slalom, not no slalom!

In this episode, I talk about why this has nothing to do with slalom being "easy," what I get back in recovery and training time, what it means to ski for myself, and why I'm leaving a little room for discovery this season. I don't know exactly where it leads, and that's kind of the point.

Thank you for giving me the space to give it a go.

❤️ Love, Miki
