Yes, they race on ice, the harder, the better. They inject water into the track to make it a sheet of ice and sprinkle on potash (KCl) to harden it up further.
The slalom track was warm and going last on a soft and rutted course is what killed Shiffrin’s time in the combined. She is not used to racing at the back of the pack.
