The population of Arc City continues to grow. After the headlines (2:00), we check in with the ever-cool Tommy Ford to ask him about his recent GS podium finish (3:13). Then we a get full, in-depth interview with Lucas Braathen (7:19). The conversation starts with Lucas' latest race performances, and ends with learning who the 20-year-old kid is behind the skier. We cover all that we can in between, including his team dynamic (excluding one key Norwegian), his "new-school" technique, and the lack of media content in ski racing, among other things. Be sure to stick around, as our resident ski-racing-intellectual Edie Thys Morgan calls in (41:18) to tell a fascinating Skiing History story about the racer who won both women's and men's races. As always, we wrap up by reading the mail.
