Her demeanor may have been humble and shy, but Deborah Compagnoni was fearless on the slope. Despite an injury plagued career, she had a unique ability to pull it together when it mattered the most. In Episode 16, we explore Compagnoni's career through wins, injuries, and massive Olympic successes

    Ski jumping needs innovation. And an unlikely hero may have just showed up to save the day, or at least save it for one day.. In episode 15 I share my thoughts on Red Bull's recent publicity stunt in Iceland, the impact this may have on ski jumping as a sport moving forward. And of course, I share my thoughts on Ryoyu Kobayashi's fantastic jump and new world record of 291 meters.

    Ski flying has always been about chasing records. In a never-ending pursuit of longer and longer jumps, ski flying hills were expanded faster than the jumpers could keep up with. By the 1980s, hills had become uncontrollable monsters and the sport produced some of the most spectacular crashes in skiing history. Our Halloween Special dives into the story of ski flying leading up to when it all culminated in the 1980s.
