The U.S. and Canadian national teams currently in Bend, Ore., for their spring camps had an unstructured training session at Mt. Bachelor this weekend. Mt. Bachelor Ski Education Foundation nordic director and three-time Olympian Dan Simoneau snapped photos of junior skiers and World Cup athletes alike ski laps around the trails.

“One of the cool parts of these generation of racers is how much they want to pull kids along,” Simoneau said.
