Alba De Silvestro on Training for Olympic Skimo: Speed, Transitions, Gear & Pressure

In this episode of Skimo Gold, ‪@travismacy3‬ sits down with Italian skimo star Alba De Silvestro to unpack how elite athletes are adapting to skimo’s ‪@Olympics‬ formats — the sprint and mixed relay. Alba shares what has changed in her training as races shift from long endurance efforts to short, explosive efforts, and why transitions — skins on, skins off, pack systems, and execution under pressure — are now one of the biggest performance differentiators in World Cup racing. They also get into the details skimo nerds love: How sprint-specific skis, packs, and skins differ from traditional setups Why marginal gains in gear actually matter at the Olympic level What it’s like racing World Cups across continents (Utah altitude, jet lag, European venues) The unique pressure of Olympic selection inside Italy’s deep skimo talent pool Whether you’re new to ski mountaineering or deep into the sport, this conversation gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how Olympic-level skimo athletes think about training, equipment, and performance. 👉 Watch the full episode here on YouTube, or listen to Skimo Gold on your favorite podcast player.
