Snow Report

The big news in skiing over the weekend was Mikaela Shiffrin’s 100th World Cup victory when she topped the podium after winning the slalom at Sestriere, Italy.

She is the first skier, male or female, to reach triple digits in World Cup race victories. A feat that could quite possibly never be equaled, let alone surpassed, and which cements her status as the Greatest Ski Racer Of All Time.

And she’s not stopping any time soon! Recently back from injury she’s hungry for more success this season.

Further East, a major snow storm has swept across Turkiye bringing huge disruption to Istanbul; deep snow at the resorts in the West; and season’s best conditions in the mountains on the Black Sea Coast.
