While Mikaela was no doubt the crowd
favorite, one thing that struck Micheline
was the support for every racer. “The most
powerful moment is when they come
down one racer at a time,” she says, noting
that the crowd cheers uproariously for
every single athlete—not just the favorite.
“It was like we were celebrating a sport we
all care about. Everyone was cheering for
skiing.”
“I love the sense of community on the
East Coast,” says Mikaela. “I met people at
Burke that I will be friends with forever. It’s
really special and powerful, even more so
in the ski community.”
One gets the sense that Mikaela still feels
the same sense of camaraderie among
her teammates and even rivals. When
asked who to watch for (besides herself, of
course), she could hardly bear to leave
anyone out, mentioning all of her
American teammates including for-
mer University of Vermont racer Paula
Moltzan. “There are a lot of great racers,”
she says. “It’s going to be a battle, and I’m
looking forward to it.”
The best female racers in the world, led
by Mikaela Shiffrin, will charge down the
Beast of the East one at a time again this
winter. Mikaela’s final advice to young
Vermont skiers? “Don’t try to be the next
Mikaela Shiffrin. Be the first you. Break
new barriers. Create new ‘possibilities.’”
The HomeLite Killington World Cup does
just that.
