hedge-fund billionaire Louis Bacon, the news stunned employees, locals, and faithful visitors alike. Nobody, first of all, had any inkling that the quaint, steep, and idiosyncratic resort—founded in 1954 by Swiss-German immigrant Ernie Blake and run for the past 25 years by his son Mickey—was even looking for a buyer. Nor, in that intimate alpine corner of northern New Mexico, did more than a handful of locals know who Bacon was. A square-jawed professional asset manager based in New York and London with an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion, Bacon had owned land in the area since the mid-1990s. He had also

How to ski strong and ski smart, with the latest and greatest instruction from the pros.

SHOULDERS SQUARE Notice that Shiffrin’s left hand hasn’t crossed the center of her body. This keeps her from overrotating her shoulders, which could cause her outside ski to skid.

because I swear I can feel my heel moving around, and if I lay into a turn, I might blow up. I can’t imagine skiing the resort like this. Which is why Marker’s new Kingpin is nothing less than revolutionary. It’s going to make the one-setup quiver a reality for skiers who ski...everywhere. I skied the Kingpin in Chile’s Nevados de Chillan in August in some of the “best binding-test conditions ever”—a frozen rain layer shellacked by 90 mph winds—and I’m telling you, this binding is bomber bomber. Strong toe pins grip with six springs (instead of the standard four), and a traditional heel clicks in with a reassuring whomp. It’s also the first tech binding ever to be ISO DIN certified, which means it’s the safest tech binding on the market. (No more cranking them to 10 when you ordinarily ski an eight.) It skis so powerfully, I never once yearned for my race boots. I’d ski this binding...everywhere. Available in stores Dec. 15.

Sure, she has innate talent, and lots of it. But without a lot of hard work, Mikaela Shiffrin probably wouldn’t be the best slalom racer in the world. BY MICHAEL ROGAN Much has been written about Mikaela Shiffrin’s “meteoric” rise to the top of the World Cup standings, but if you ask her, she might dispute the speed of her success. Despite her youth, Shiffrin’s rise has been a steady progression of struggle, improvement, and constant learning, based on

her sheer determination and a solid work ethic. Consistent with her development, Shiffrin’s skiing is precise, accurate, disciplined, and very much practiced. There’s a lot to be learned from studying photos like this one—much we should try to emulate in our own skiing.

{ Spring 2015 }

But the real lesson might be this: If you want to get good, you have to put in the effort, and nothing happens overnight. There are stories of Shiffrin working on drills for days, weeks, even months—honing and studying her technique so that she knows everything there is to know about it.

It’s a case of practicing until you can’t get it wrong, rather than practicing until you get it right. That allows her instincts to work with her abilities. The good news is that effort does not require talent. And as the saying goes, “It’s hard. That doesn’t mean it isn’t fun.”

TIP AND RIP Get your skis up onto their edges and utilize their sidecut to carve. The higher the edge angle, the tighter the turn. STOCK CREDIT
