The Johnny Klister Really Important Skiing Interview: Simi Hamilton
(photonordicfocus)
Simi Hamilton, fresh off an 11th place finish at the World Cup Sprint in Lahti shares some important insights as a ski racer.
Simi, you’ve been a great skier for a long time, which begs the question, who is better at bowling, you or a J4 girl picked at random from the streets of Heber City, UT?
Well, since I don’t have a competitive spirit, I’d probably play a pity game and let said J4 girl beat me. Unless, of course, it was league play. No pity during league play.
If you were a character from the Big Lewbowski, who would you be and why?
Uli Kunkel. He’s a nihilist. He doesn’t care about anything. It would be an exhausting existence, but I could probably do it.
What is the most important thing that you do for your training that doesn’t count as ski training? (i.e. Flossing, voting, air guitar.)
As far as importance to ski racing goes, it would have to be the five minutes a day I spend in front of the mirror practicing my finish line celebrations. I’m really trying to nail down the one where I take my skis off and play them like a flute. I’ve requested from Fischer the production of a hole ski that is actually a flute.
Are you upset that Sylvan is getting married, but not to you?
I’m not terribly upset because I’ve got a well thought-out plan to break up the marriage. It involves several bottles of wine and a Kenny G concert.
Polish techno or Finnish techno?
I recently finished producing an album with David Guetta featuring Justyna Kowalczyk, so I’d have to give with Polish techno on this one. You can actually get a free single from the album with any purchase of Proactiv.
What master skier accessory would you most like to employ?
Brakes on my skis. And we’re not talking about rollerkis here. Straight up brakes on my race skis. That shit is dangerous.
Was Joe Dubay framed?
Absolutely. Whether it was by Vegard Ulvang or Gus Kaeding we’ll never know. I’m leaning towards Gus… there’s only room for one American hero atop the podium.
How many hours are you now training with Cat-skis or to put it another way, do you think you might ever qualify to do the Birkie?
Since I spent 1.5 hours of my life watching the live feed of the Birkie finish this winter while stuck in a hotel room in Switzerland (not a joke), I think it’s safe to say that the Birkie is on my radar. I don’t think that skinny punk Tad would have a chance at hanging with me on the downhills.

When Travelling…
..be prepared for the wet finger in ear. Especially if you are Simi and you are traveling with Sylvan.
