Reply to comment by Max-Powah in Mikaela Shiffrin breaks all-time skiing record with 87th World Cup win | CNN by Levagabondsolitaire

Well thankfully the next Winter Olympics is in a place that actually has real snow. It clearly affected her skiing along with a bunch of other world class skiers. Just sad that it had to be in the event that most of the world tunes in for bringing out the neckbeards and their sage opinions (not a knock on world cups, but obviously not as watched as the Olympics)

That‘s still just wrong. I think it was a travesty, that Beijing of all places hosted winter olympics. But the conditions on those slopes were perfect. The slopes the pros ski on are all made with lots of „artificial“ snow. If anything, the snow was quite aggressive, as it often is in Colorado, where Shiffrin is from.

The slopes in Cortina 2026 will be made with man made snow as well.
