Nathalie Von Siebenthal Quits International Skiing Just Weeks Before Season Start

No reason for unexpected decision by Switzerland's best distance skier - and one of the best in the world was given except for this : " Head and body have resisted...Now I'm looking forward to being at home on New Year's Eve, going for free weekends and going cross-country skiing as long and as slow as I want." Swiss broadcas SRF quotes a 26 year's old skier. We could only add that Nathalie was universally liked on the international skiing circuit for her mild manners and friendly disposition to media. Natalie was also one of the only two world class skiers (the other one is Martin Sundby) to do not have official presence on Instagram.

Jean-Marc Draeyer, Man Who Picked SLABs For You ( If You Are Maja Dahlqvist That Is)

Gear News, Newsfeed

Meet Jean-Marc Draeyer, Salomon Nordic head of race ski production. " Production" means that Jean-Marc calls Altenmark im Pongau his home ( and not Annecy where Salomon Nordic's main unit is located) and makes sure that Maja Dahlqvist and Sjur Rothe along with other Salomon athletes get best gear to fight for the podiums. S/LAB Carbons and Redster Carbons are made on the same production line, by the same skilled workers but are very, very different skis, developed by two different teams. Moreover, the Carbons Sjur and Maja use and those you could buy in your nearest friendly Intersport or XXL are made exactly the same, from the same components by the same people. What's different is that Jean-Marc and personal waxers of the stars have a first peak of…

Russians Reveal New Racing Suits – We Love Them And So Will You

Gear News, Newsfeed

That time of the year again: the teams start to reveal their new racing suits for the upcoming season. Looks like the Russians beat everyone else this year - and their new suit is a bomb! ...Last year the Russian apparel giant Bosco di Ciliegi (yeah, with very Italian name - welcome to the new globalized world) stepped in at the very last moment as Adidas decided to stop sponsoring all Nordic sports. The first attempt wasn't a failure - in fact many, ourself included, liked that Soviet Constructivism design of the Russian suits 2018/19. But just-revealed successor, the 2019/20 racing piece (or two - depending on your preference) is a quite a step forward nonetheless. Pictures speak for themselves, but we shall add a few words: - The new…

Brush Creek Luxury Ranch Collection in Wyoming. Not your average resort , what with "offering its guests all-inclusive pricing for accommodations, gourmet meals, premium beers, wines andspirits and a vast array of on ranch experiences." We shall tell you about what that pricing actually is a bit later - otherwise you might just stop reading before we could come to the explanation as to why this story is here. ...As Robb Report writes, " Brush Creek has recently acquired the 600-plus-acre Green Mountain, with plans to launch it this December as a guests-only hub for downhill skiing and snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and tubing". We, frankly, don't care much about snowshoeing and even less about tubing - but the idea of skiing on exclusive resort appeals to…
