WATCH: Chairlift Chat With Mikaela Shiffrin

Since the 2016-17 World Cup season wrapped, Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, CO) has been back in Colorado, skiing at her home resorts of Vail and Beaver Creek. Last week, Vail Daily’s on-snow correspondent Ross Leonhart rode the chairlift with Shiffrin between training runs to talk about the season, meeting Morgan Freeman, her other passions apart from ski racing and love of Taylor Swift on Beaver Creek’s Centennial Express.
