A slalom skier just achieved a remarkable result in the Alpine Ski World Cup—coming from last place to win. As mountains get warmer and conditions less predictable, expect more freak occurrences like this.
Instead, his time was just good enough to scrape into the second round. From there, in last place, the Swiss skier went on to win the entire event. Never before in 58 years of the competition had someone risen from such a low position to claim the trophy in a single run. It was a testament to Yule’s skiing—but also to the unignorable reality of climate change.
” But Chemmy Alcott, who co-presents BBC 2’s Ski Sunday programme in the UK, and who interviewed Yule after the race, contests the claim that the warm weather made a significant contribution. According to Alcott, the piste had not degraded more than what might normally be expected. “I was there, and I’ve seen rattier second runs in winter snow,” she says. Yule won, in Alcott’s opinion, because he performed better—not because of the condition of the piste.
