About this episode

Jimmy and Mika return to discuss the latest in the ski world, including the Norwegian mafia and FIS meetings.

Jimmy and Mika are finally back after a long break — and this time it’s just us catching up on everything that’s been going on in the ski world. We’re kicking off a new rhythm with fresh episodes every two weeks, plus some behind-the-scenes training VLOGs along the way. In this episode, we dive into the latest chaos and politics surrounding the Norwegian “mafia” federation, unpack what went down at the recent FIS meetings, and talk about where cross-country skiing is heading next. There’s also plenty of catching up on training, racing, and what life has looked like during the off-season break. No guest this week — just classic Skirious Problems. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: Spotify: ⁠ https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyND ...
