What? Yeah, that’s right, there are lots of great reasons to be a Nordic skier, but one of them is that there are a whole lot of fit, attractive people wearing spandex. Here is a list of some of the hottest European skiers on the World Cup. We may have forgotten a few so feel free to write them into the comment section and we will add them to the list. We did not want the North Americans to dominate so we made an executive decision to eliminate all of them… sorry Andy and Morgan.
Superficial? Certainly, but remember that it is spring time, and you’re supposed to be having fun.
All of our photos of these athletes are from races, so we are using google images to supplement. If you don’t have a poster on your wall, google will provide.
Please vote at the bottom of the page. We will tally the scores and then enter a second round of voting to determine the winners!

For the record, I had nothing to do with this. But you should still vote for me.

I can’t believe you missed Evi Sachenbacher — Patrick Stinson did the same earlier. She’s so hot right now!

Sachenbacher and Nystad have both been added. Tchepalova is not eligible as she is serving a doping ban.

OK, then I would have to cast one vote each for Sachenbacher-Stehle and Nystad. I voted for five already, though, so please retract my vote for Nat Herz…
Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t change my vote. With the addition of these last two, I would have voted for too many Germans. My original vote was much more diverse, but Sachenbacher-Stehle is hard to pass up. What a great sprint team she and Nystad made at the Olympics — in more ways than one!
…man, I just read what I wrote and realize there’s no way to say that without sounding like a total perv.

The host from NBC’s Today Show is going to be very annoyed when she sees that you have left Kris Freeman often the men’s list.

Read the article. It clearly states that we did not include ANY North Americans.

Lame that there aren’t any North Americans on this list. Without ’em it was tough to find five legit hotties to choose from!

Check the link for Arianna Follis. Kikkan Randall’s photo is there, as is some porno.

The link is merely a google images search for the name “Arianna Follis.” We obviously have no control over what google returns. There are bound to be images of other skiers that google somehow misidentifies based on the other content – hence Kikkan – I’m sure that photo is from a race that Follis was in.
In terms of porn there were no photos in my search that are pornographic. Google generally only returns inappropriate images and content if the user specifically allows it.
If you have issues with google searches, I suggest you contact google directly.

I voted 5x for Ella Gjoemle based on the Google image search results.

I thought you meant only non-US skiers. Liz and Morgan S. (and Newell) would’ve dominated. That’s what we produce up here in Vermont: fast skiers and very attractive people.

Hell yeah. An article after my own heart. Crawford is pretty much a hands down for girl next door, considering she *is* Canadian, and *is* totally hot. Way to go Devon.
I got a bunch of nominations from some elite Alaskan women way back when. Got to keep the guys on the list too. All I remember was that Hattestad was the winner hands down.
Anyway, I voted for Johaug and Steffi B. That was a total no-brainer.
Sorry Marit, but if your biceps are three times bigger than mine you don’t make my hot list.
mmmm….hot list.

Without a doubt Chandra Crawford would have been a front runner

My vote is for Jessica Alba. I mean how can it not be my vote when she looks like this on her spring vacation after the world cup season
