Great to see Mikaela Shiffrin cruising through the stubbies on her road back to racing after injuring her knee in December.  Her first day back on skis was Jan. 30, so this is a very hopeful sign. She plans to make her return to competition late Feburary and she looks well on track for it. We wish her all the best and can’t wait to see her back in competition.
