3-time Olympic alpine skier Tommy Ford sat down with Condé Nast Traveler to discuss the different types of snow conditions you find around the world, from the Beaver Creek in Colorado to Ushuaia, Argentina, and Lake Takapō in New Zealand. The discussion was mostly surrounding the snow conditions while racing or training, not the off-piste or regular trails that most skiers are riding, but he does touch on some other forms of snow.
"The vibes were good... nothing can beat this! I did well for taking my time. I may not yet realize how far I've come so far... probably because there's a long way to go before I can ski like I want to, without knee pain. But hey! This is a more than positive first step And most of all... Thank you to all the people who have helped me and accompanied me so far. Without you, nothing would be possible "
