Lahti World Cup Debrief - Yellow cards, slush and chaos

Gjøran Tefre: American women & Norwegian drama

Jimmy and Mika are back — and this time we’re joined by Norwegian ski legend Gjøran Tefre for a proper catch-up on everything happening around the sport right now. We get into the current state of the Norwegian national team, the rise of private team setups, and what it actually takes to survive outside the federation system. Gjøran shares stories from inside the Norwegian scene, while the boys throw in plenty of opinions, questionable takes, and classic Skirious Problems banter along the way. We also somehow end up discussing beautiful American women, life on the road, training, racing, and all the chaos that comes with being a skier in 2026. Fresh episodes every two weeks — plus behind-the-scenes training VLOGs coming soon. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: * Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyND [https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyND]...

SKIRIOUS IS BACK - Debriefing the Norwegian Mafia and FIS meetings

Jimmy and Mika are finally back after a long break — and this time it’s just us catching up on everything that’s been going on in the ski world. We’re kicking off a new rhythm with fresh episodes every two weeks, plus some behind-the-scenes training VLOGs along the way. In this episode, we dive into the latest chaos and politics surrounding the Norwegian “mafia” federation, unpack what went down at the recent FIS meetings, and talk about where cross-country skiing is heading next. There’s also plenty of catching up on training, racing, and what life has looked like during the off-season break.

Alison Mackie: Making the World Cup Look Like a Family Road Trip

Jimmy and Mika somehow pulled off booking Alison Mackie—literally at the last minute—and she brings all the good vibes and killer stories from her breakout season on the World Cup. Alison dives into her crazy jump from being barely known to racking up top World Cup results, and shares what it’s actually like navigating the whirlwind of international racing as a young Canadian. You’ll hear about money struggles, travel chaos, surviving road trips, what it really costs to race at the top level, and why the World Cup is both a dream and a grind for North Americans. The crew also gets into big topics: racing traditions, the infamous Holmenkollen 50K, struggles with federation funding, and why sometimes you just have to break the “no candy before dinner” rule. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE TO “SKIRIOUS PROBLEMS” ON: * Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1nVdyNDukQ7Ucv7IdfXzpg⁠⁠ * Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/skirious-problems/id1718097138 * ⁠RSS-Feed: ⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/s/ed0abed0/podcast/rss * YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@SkiriousProblems ⁠⁠🤳🏼 FOLLOW US: * Skirious Problems: https://www.instagram.com/skirious_problems ⁠ * Mika Vermeulen: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mikaa_ver * James Clugnet: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jimmycluggz ⁠⁠ Skirious Problems is partially supported by FIS and produced in cooperation with ⁠⁠⁠Maniac Studios⁠⁠⁠.
