Shiffrin sets a new mark — Mikaela Shiffrin won her 15th World Cup race of the season (58th total) last week, setting a new record for both men and women. The win came in Slalom at Spindleruv Mlyn, Czech Republic.
She also took bronze in Giant Slalom this week, leaving her with a 97 point lead going into the finals. We’re holding off reporting all of her season achievements until after those are in the books.
Buddy Werner Championships — Mount Hood Ski Bowl hosted the Buddy Werner U14 Championships last weekend. More than 100 girls and 92 boys from across the Northwest competed.
