Maybe we should have some context……like how long ago was that? What they were doing, etc. That’s a long time ago. Was that about at the time when Team Shiffrin was formed? That was late spring/summer 2016……after a training block at then Squaw. And a “strong demand and directive” from Mom.
I think this might be a year later? 2017. When, yeah she was a team of one. Hard to believe that Mike Day has been with her since July 2016. Wow.
Long time... 00' - 02' ... and yes times, sports, population densities, and phones have changed drastically. Much more mellow themes back then but the theme of "Team of One" is, let's say complicated... I'll leave that discussion to those like
@Muleski that are much more familiar and versed in the current trends in ski team dynamics. My "Poser" status confirmed and badge worn w/ pride w/in this arena!
My buds later actually had to tell me that at one point, we were talking and hiking up w/ Johnny Moseley. I had no idea at the time as I was too busy sucking wind trying to keep up!!!
The six of us were "The Locals" (including Jay who ended up doing a stint as Town Mgr over at Telluride... don't know if he's still there) and he was killin' us but we were determined not to get pimped at the top by "Outsiders" ! ....
