Five female and six male ski racers have joined together to pose in a nude calendar they hope will help them overcome high costs — and scarce funding — on the professional ski tour. Even though they are funded, two-time Olympic champion Ted Ligety and Olympic super-G silver medalist Andrew Weibrecht have helped out. Wiles and McKennis are a long way from enjoying the success of four-time overall World Cup winner Lindsey Vonn and Olympic slalom champion Mikaela Shiffrin — who have won 99 World Cup races between them. The year-old McKennis won a downhill in the Austrian resort of St. Anton in January — her only podium — and Wiles has one top finish. She has received positive feedback from mothers with concerns over anorexia, fearful that their daughters feel pressured to follow very slim role models. One of our coaches, helping drive us in a snowmobile, actually stopped and yelled at them. While not opposing the calendar, the U. It can be really challenging.

A poster promoting Ski World Cup women's races has come under an avalanche of criticism for its choice of a naked woman as the main feature. The offending painting shows a nude image of a female skier jumping over some animal heads while a moon with eyes looks between the woman's legs. Austria's Semmering resort is using the painting to promote two days of races for the world cup this month. Many on social media, however, objected to the portrayal of female athletes. The painting was commissioned from artist Christian Ludwig Attersee, who has painted similar promotional material for the races in previous years. But this year's rendition has been criticised more widely. It comes after a year in which multiple allegations emerged of sexual assault and even rape among Austria's female skiers, going back decades. The accusations, reported in Austrian and German media and involving at least one well-known coach, caused an uproar earlier in the year. Former Austrian Olympic skier Nicola Werdenigg, whose revelation that she was raped at age 16 prompted an investigation, labelled the Semmering poster "sexist". Writing about it on social media, she complained that the races at Semmering had been advertised with Attersee's work for years - and that the pose is less than athletic, with crossed skis making a fall certain.
