The Schattenbergschanze is an imposing structure rising nearly 500 feet from the valley floor, with a backdrop of the Allgäu Alps towering behind. The ski jumps of Oberstdorf, a German village of 10,000 in western Bavaria, are among the most notable in the world site of the annual Four Hills Tournament each December and the gathering spot for athletes from over two dozen nations for the FIS Nordic Ski World Championships.
Park City’s Paige Jones slid onto the bar at the top of the towering HS137 meter ski jump. Just 18, she has already accumulated a passport full of stamps and a worldly education in sport as an up-and-coming ski jumper.
In this episode, we speak with Zach Caldwell Putney, Vermont ski whisperer, and wax nerd at Caldwell Sport. We’ve received questions from listeners asking about the difficulty of waxing (for both skate and classic) as well as ski selection when the temperatures spike beyond the melting point for snow. That has been the case in Oberstdorf, Germany the last week, site of the 2021 Nordic Ski World Championships.

That said, it’s a “rest day” at World Champs, so no race breakdown in this episode just wax and ski talk.
