The temperatures are dropping, leaves are falling, Halloween is right around the corner and you know what that means folks…Ski Racing is back! This weekend the FIS Alpine World Cup kicks off on the Rettenbach Glacier in Soelden, Austria. Newbies and veterans from all around the world will attack the longest, steepest pitch on the circuit hoping all that work over the summer pays off on the big day.
and just in case you forgot…Marcel Hirscher, the best male skier to ever walk the planet…ain’t racin.
One man that was probably…no, most definitely jumping for joy when he heard the news this September is Henrik Kristoffersen, the walking silver medal. With Marcel taking on the family man role and moving onto retirement. The World Cup Overall Globe is Henriks for the taking.
with that being said…I don’t think he takes the win on Sunday
