Mr. Ski

At CyclovaXC we are super excited about the new Atomic Skintec ski. The Atomic Skintec is a performance, waxless classical ski with a removable base plate that allows you to quickly and easily switch out your kick zone as follows:The end result is a pe...

Overcome the Obstacles and Achieve Your PotentialCross-Country skiing is more of a calling than a sport, and nowhere is that more obvious than in Andy Liebner's skiing memoir “Wild Shot.” The book chronicles a period in Liebner's life when he deci...

I don't know about you, but every time we hit February, I start coming down with a pretty intense case of BIRKIE FEVER! Last weekend, Badger State games was the perfect prep, with finish line temperatures hovering at around 40 degrees. It was the type ...

Lindsley was a little late to Badger State because he had to pull over and destroy this Imperial Walker along the way.

Actually this photo doesn't embarrass me, but I put that as the title because I figure some people might look at it and be embarrassed for me.  But the way I look at it, all I need is a haircut and a shave and I'm a thin, 18 year old again (oh, an...

I occasionally have articles and short stories published in magazines. Silent Sports has been the best of them so far.  For example, they just posted a recent article of mine titled "Birkie Training on the Inca Trail."  This is available bot...

Jeff Foltz asked me to publish is schedule of upcoming appearances in the area, and I told him I'd be happy to do it.  If you haven't looked at "Birkebeiner the Novel" yet, check out an interview with Foltz here.Wednesday, February 15, 5PM to 7PM ...

What a great time we had at the 2012 Sisu marathon!  First and foremost, it was great to make the arduous drive up to Ironwood and watch as the roads and villages became more and more utterly submerged with glorious SNOW!  In all honesty, I'v...

I snuck away on Saturday and spent the whole glorious day making myself suffer up there north of Hayward. I really should have spent a bit more time taking pictures honestly, but I was having too much fun skiing to properly document my adventure.I was ...

I was just digging through some old photos when I came across this one from the Sibley Ski Tour from about fifteen years ago.  Frank and I are decked out in the original Riverbrook duds that we designed after a rollerski down at Lake Wissota Park....

As most of you know, at some point CyclovaXC in association with IncaRunners is going to do an EXTREMELY EPIC trip down the Inca trail (I had to put that in all caps and I STILL didn't convey how EPIC and LIFE CHANGING this trip is going to be).I did t...

Yes, this race is capped, so if you're thinking of doing it, you'd better sign up now (click here for registration)! I remember the first time I did the Birkie back when I was 18, I was able to wait until the week before the event...but those days are...

First off, I've shipped out the order for our ski suits and Mt. Borah has told me they'll be shipping the final product on December 16th which should give us our suits in plenty of time for the snow (and, more importantly, the early races).  In th...
