Winter Olympics

Ski mountaineering, or “skimo” will make its Olympic debut this month. And a longtime Colorado skimo athlete, Nikki LaRochelle, will help introduce millions of viewers to the sport – offering commentary during the broadcast of the Winter Games from Italy.

For longtime ski racer Jessie Young, the debut of ski mountaineering at the upcoming Olympics marks the culmination of her two-year journey to earn a spot on Team USA — and the heartbreaking reality of elite sports.

Colorado is sending more athletes to Milan-Cortina to compete for Team USA than any other state.

The latest addition to the list of amenities available to athletes at the bobsled and skeleton world championships is a room inside a lodge just down the hill from the finish line. There are some stuffed animals, tons of toys, Mickey Mouse coloring books and big boxes of crayons. This is the family space. These days, it's a needed part of the sliding circuit.

If you’re watching the Olympics, you’ve likely seen big brown mountains covered in veins of artificial snow trails. That more compact manufactured snow has pros and cons: racers like its consistency and how fast they go. But if you crash, you might get hurt worse. It will likely continue to be used, as researchers look for a way to scale up making fluffier, more natural snow for the future.
