Episode 10 - Erik Arvidsson - AD's Future

Episode 10 - Erik Arvidsson - AD's Future

Aspen World Cups were exciting and fun and although we did not see an American Downhiller on the Podium, we did see some excitement from the back of pack - in Super-G a couple of Americans ended up in the top 15!!!

Our guest today is one of those racers. He scored his best EVER SG result with a 14th starting 52nd!!! He is on the B Team and from Woodside, CA. He was the 2016 World Jr Champion in Downhill - a race in which Marco Odermatt was 11th! He raced four years on the NCAA circuit for the Panthers at Middlebury College. And was a 2023 Member of the World Championship team.

He is none other than Erik Arvidsson!

Erik shares a ton of great info about growing up with heroes like Kyle Rasmussen, Julia Mancuso and our own Daron Rahlves on the slopes of Bear Valley and then Palisades. Other topics we cover;

  • His tactics in SG and how they differ from Downhill.
  • How GS helps SG which helps DH!
  • Taking risk - especially in training and how to translates into race day speed.
  • Who he watches on video and why.
  • Why he left the US Ski Team and attended Middlebury College.
  • Why the NCAA path works for some athletes.
  • Competition and betting among the American Downhillers in training
  • AND finally, what Erik needs to work on to make the final step to the podium.

Thanks to our sponsors: ADL Ski Club, WEND Wax, American Downhiller Camp and ELITEAM Fitness Programs.
