In this episode, we dive into the world of show skiing with Lieven Hardy, a prominent figure in Belgian show skiing. Lieven shares his journey into the sport, the evolution of show skiing in Belgium, and the significant role his family plays in its growth. He reflects on the impact of international tournaments, particularly the first World Tournament in 2012. The conversation also touches on the future of show skiing in Europe and the importance of community and friendship within the sport. Prior to Lieven joining the show, Matt and Adam reflect on the past year in show skiing, discussing highlights, challenges, and the decline of professional ski shows, with the recent announcement that the ski show at Legoland will be closing. They also promote the upcoming Awards Show and Think Tank, share Hot Takes on announcing and the qualification system for Nationals, and they conclude with a fun segment ranking their favorite Christmas movies.
