ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The youngest of two Bjornsen siblings on the U.S. Ski Team, 22-year-old Erik Bjornsen recently sat down with Reese Hanneman, FS media contributor and Bjornsen’s teammate on the Alaska Pacific University (APU) Elite Team, at the APU Nordic Ski Center for a frank discussion about last season and the one just ahead.
“How should I sit?” Bjornsen says with a smile at the start of the interview. Then he lies down.
But in all seriousness, Hanneman raises some questions that elicit elaborate responses from the Washington native, now in his third year with APU.
