On Saturday, I went to Hayward, WI for the 3rd Ski and Tea clinic of the year. CXC Team Vertical Limit teammate, Kelly Chaudoin, came down from Ely, MN to help coach. We had an outstanding turnout of around 20 women. The weather was perfect and the snow conditions in Hayward were great. We met [...]
