Gurgl, for the men one of the tightest races we've seen in a long time, French team on top but a new name to the podium in Paco Passat, joined by another new comer Marchant. For the someone Shiffrin was back delivering lessons with another masterclass making it 2 from 2 on the Slalom tour.

Next stop Copper Mountain...

Listen. Watch. Play.

The slalom season has got underway and it was business as usual for Shiffrin putting on a masterclass for the rest of the World Cup, while on the mens side history was in the making Braathen's first win post his year away from racing. Huge day for the Fins and Brits.

Listen. Watch. Play.

The wait is over and Levi is on the horizon, Ed, Ben and Marc chatting all things Levi slalom related and a bit that isn't. High profile injuries crush Olympic dreams and a quick glance at the Predictions League Table.

Listen. Watch. Play.

How good was it to have ski racing back on TV! Both the men and the women delivered some cracking performances and brilliant racing! Bodes well for the rest of the season.

Less than a week away from the first World Cup of the season. Solden is looking good with excellent snow and cold weather forecast!

The Predictions League is back again but we are mixing it up this time around. We are going to give bonus points to any podium predicted skier that starts the race weekend outside of the top 3 in the season standings...

Still 5 points if you prediction wins 3 if they come second and 1 if they are 3rd but you will get double points for any prediction that starts the weekend outside the top 3... for example, you pick Hector and she wins and she is within the top 3 of the tour standings you'd get 5 points, but if you picked Hector and she was outside the top 3 at the start of the race weekend you'd get 10 points total. (so 3points for 2nd would change to 6 points and 1 point for 3rd would go to 2).

Hopefully that will spice up the picks and give incentive to move away from the favourites!

Listen. Watch. Play.

Oh yes Season 8 is here! The OG Ski Racing Podcast is back, the nights are closing in, the temperature is dropping, which only means one thing.... That World Cup Ski Racing is around the corner!

Can't wait!

Well we finally got round to doing a round up pod, so much to fit in, from skiers of the season, to injuries, to comebacks, to World Cup domination and everything in between.

A couple of thank yous, thank you to you guys all for listening and playing along with The Predictions League, thank you to Gareth for putting the time and effort into running it!!! Thanks to Ben, Marcel and Marc for the laughs and the insights!

We will be running the adhoc pod now and again,

But until next time, its bye for now,

Cheers,

Ed
