🎧 Ice, Sweat, and Raclette: My Valmorel Spartan Winter Trifecta

The Austrian era is over—Valmorel is the new epicentre of winter racing. I headed to the French Alps to chase a Winter Trifecta, but the mountains had their own plans. No marketing hype here—just the raw truth about what it takes to survive 1,400m of elevation and knee-deep snow.

In this episode:

• Weather Chaos: From shirtless sunbathing on the Beast to a "Himalayan" blizzard on the Super.

• The Real Boss: Why deep, slushy snow is more brutal than any man-made obstacle.

• The Gear Fail: How frozen hands turn the Olympus into a nightmare (and why you need hand warmers).

• Logistics & Heartbreak: How an 11:30 AM cutoff killed my Trifecta dream—and why the €2 bus is your best friend.

• Pro Tips: €11 camping, offline maps, and the best post-race Raclette.

Is Valmorel the worthy successor to Kaprun? Tune in for the "Real Talk" review of the toughest winter weekend on the circuit.
