Apparently if you are the high bidder on some of these auction tems, as a bonus, you also get Mikaela’s feet.

I just looked at the auction. She is raising a lot of money. Great skier, better person.

except when she's disobeying road closures to randomly dispose and abandon range rovers on private property, I can only suppose since they have all broken down.

(just kidding)

Well, I thought the goggles might be nice. But they’re at $1,500...

I was just about to say that it is of no use to fake interest in the items as you are all busy checking up on her feet...

The auction items I covet and I am most interested in acquiring are her ankle rotation and toe-heel flex

Yup, that Instagram video, that’s exactly what I was looking at. Her feet and ankles.

She’s for sure keeping busy

Was obviously referring to the photos of her gear she evidently shot herself, as in about half you can see her sock-ed feet peeking into the frame.

Here's a cool commentary from Mikaela on what she was thinking during the Bansko SuperG.

Would be so cool if she could do this once a week

This is an interesting commentary by MS about Killington 2019

 

[ScottB]

That was pretty funny, off the wall, and honest. Being sheltered is having its effect on everyone. I assume that was shot recently.

 

[Steve]

I've been watching this young lady ski and talk for a lot of years. This was the best video yet. So comfortable, so honest. So smart. Simply the best.

This is an interesting commentary by MS about Killington 2019

She is so humble, confident, and self-critical all at the same time. A roll model for anyone who wants to be a better person.

 

[Pete in Idaho]

Quite a young lady.

From time to time I get notifications of Mikaela's feed on twitter.
This one piqued my interest.

Sept 21, 2020 The New York Times

...Returning to Colorado, Shiffrin — in a first — found a more potent voice on social media in support of calls for racial justice. Many of her followers, used to cheerful workout or dance videos, mounted a bitter backlash. Shiffrin’s response: “Wanna ‘Unfollow?’ I’ll see you to the door.”
Then, in August, she and her mother, Eileen, hurriedly packed their belongings preparing to evacuate as wildfires threatened the Colorado home Shiffrin built just a year ago.

“People ask, ‘How are you doing?’” Shiffrin said last week in a telephone interview. “I don’t really know how to answer that.”...
