Welcome to the inaugural episode of the American Downhiller Podcast, presented by Ski Racing Media, with Olympians Doug Lewis, AJ Kitt, Daron Rahlves and Marco Sullivan. Between them they have five world championship Medals, 14 World Cup wins, eight Kitzbühel podiums, and have represented the U..S at the Olympics 13 times.
Throughout the 2022 World Cup season they will share their thoughts on each World Cup downhill stop. They will share stories, dissect each course and how to win on it, and give you their preview of who will ski their way to victory each race.
This first episode is all about Lake Louise, the traditional first speed stop of the season since 1999. Although some call it one of the “tamer” downhills, you will hear the real deal from those who have run it — what it takes to win on one of the fastest courses on tour. They break down the course, share what it’s like to rip through Fishnet and Fallaway and how to work the intense terrain and lightning-fast flats for speed.
