Two days after watching her rivals light up the podium, the Queen of ski racing just fired a warning shot that has the entire alpine world buzzing.
In a raw, late-night Instagram post that’s already exploding across social media, Mikaela Shiffrin revealed the secret sauce behind her 2025/26 comeback: she’s not just chasing new peaks anymore; she’s laser-focused on raising her absolute FLOOR.
“I’m leveling up my baseline in addition to working on top speed, and that is so exciting,” Shiffrin wrote, practically daring the rest of the field to keep up.
Translation? The days of “off-day Mikaela” might be officially over. When the greatest skier of all time says her worst runs are about to get a lot better… everyone else should be terrified.
She capped the post with a classy shout-out to the women who just beat her — Alice, Julia, Zrinka, Sarah, and Val — proving once again why the entire tour both fears and respects her.
“Heading straight back to Europe now, lot’s more to come very soon!” she teased, complete with the #stifelusskiteam hashtag.
Bottom line: If Shiffrin is this pumped after finishing off the podium, imagine what’s coming when she actually clicks.
Buckle up, ski racing fans. The GOAT is locked in, and the rest of the season just got a whole lot spicier.
