Dane Spencer, though long since retired from the World Cup, has remained in the thick of American ski racing. He has been behind numerous successful return-to-snow injury comebacks among current U.S. Ski Team athletes, as well as a concerted push through his independent camps to help educate young racers about the finer details of equipment maintenance—in addition to ski technique. Dane was teammates with both Ted Ligety and Bode Miller, so—Arc City protocol—we dug up some fantastic stories. Dane has a million other theories and anecdotes, including one about the time he almost died. And the Skiing History Nugget is back! It’s about the rapid increase in ski racing retirement age.
