Hosts Travis Macy and Cam Smith kick things off with a deep dive into Cam’s 2025 season—one packed with high-altitude racing, Olympic aspirations, and, yes, a meticulous croissant tally (52 and counting).
Fresh off a standout performance at the World Cup in Andorra, Cam breaks down Team USA’s strategy in the mixed relay event, a crucial step in securing a quota spot for the 2026 Olympics. He shares insights into relay dynamics, the mental and physical demands of skimo racing, and how he balances elite-level training with his work at the Adaptive Sports Center.
Beyond the lung-burning ascents and lightning-fast transitions, Cam opens up about the mental side of competition, the role of a sports psychologist in his journey, and how he stays motivated through setbacks and injuries. Plus, hear about his plans for the World Cup relays and his big goal: the Mountain Trail World Championships in September.
Join us for this exciting first episode—Cam will be co-hosting SKIMO Gold regularly, bringing you insider knowledge, athlete stories, and plenty of stoke for the sport. Let’s go!
