Although we’ve been on snow in Finland for the last month, there’s still nothing quite like that hard-earned first Vermont ski. Like most of my First Skis and many of my Last Skis growing up, this one was on the “secret trail.” Not that its really much of a secret, but it doesn’t get much [...]

Bryan Fletcher skied into a solid 18th place in the second World Cup competition this season, a career best for the 24-year-old from Steamboat Springs, Colo. Felix Gottwald (AUT) won the race, working from 28th place after jumping to beat Mikko Kokslien (NOR) who started in 21st place.

Kris Freeman wasn’t quite able to match his teammate Andy Newell’s result from yesterday – but he came pretty close. Freeman, of the U.S. Ski Team (USST), finished seventh in the 10 k classic in Kuusamo, Finland on Saturday, just 0.3 seconds out of sixth. Newell, who had finished sixth in the sprint yesterday, finished 89th, slipping to 42nd place overall in the mini-tour standings. Meanwhile, Canada’s Alex Harvey finished 17th, moving up to fourth...
Well, I didn't end up racing this morning. I woke up with a bit of a sore throat, every skiers worst nightmare. I made the call not to race the rest of the mini tour and hopefully recover quickly and race fast in Dusseldorf next weekend. This sucks.

The early races of a season are when we are able to pore over the results, see whose careful planning and hard training has worked best, who made big improvements and whose priorities have changed, but they are also the time when we are once again reminded why we love this sport. Here is a visual reminder from the eyes of FasterSkier photographer Win Goodbody that no matter what the results say the efforts are...
I finally arrived in Ostersund, Sweden yesterday after a two-day marathon of travel from Lake Placid – Lake Placid-Albany-Newark-Frankfurt-Stockholm-Ostersund. The skiing is great here and it looks like most of the teams have arrived already or are slated to be here in the next few days. After the -20C weather of Canmore last week, I [...]
