This past weekend I was fortunate enough to ski in the Noquemanon Ski Marathon in Marquette, MI. If you have not yet had the opportunity to ski this race, and you have a propensity for long ski races, you should put this event on your calendar for next season. The terrain, excellent snow, technical and demanding trails, and the one-of-a-kind U.P. scenery all combine to create a memorable weekend. This year’s Noque featured some transformed,...
For all I have been up to it has been way to long since I posted.
I got the call and was named one the first round of the selection process which made me breath a lot easier. I was pretty sure I would be named to the Olympic Team but I try to prepare myself for the worst. It was a big relief to get named early so I could start training full speed ahead and not worry about the selection process. I put in a big block of training in Anchorage in perfect conditions before heading down to Canmore to finish up the prep and spend some time at altitude before the World Cup this weekend.
This place is just awesome. For the first few days it was just the APU Crew of Kikkan, Erik, Holly and myself along with the Russians out on the trails. Pretty mellow out there but the last few days the venue has started to fill up and people are starting to get into race mode. Here are few pics from Canmore and home the last few weeks...

Fraser, CO – Brilliant blue skies and crisp temperatures warmed into a pleasant afternoon making the 23rd Colorado Governor’s Cup hosted by Devil’s Thumb Ranch a fantastic event.

HAYWARD, Wis., February 1, 2010 – Last Spring the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation Board of Directors voted unanimously to set a registration cap on the Birkie and Kortelopet of 7500 skiers.

You probably forgot about it, but way back in the fall we held the first Madshus/FasterSkier Vintage Photo Contest. We decided to make the contest “vintage” as well as the photos, by waiting far too long to announce the winners. Well, good things come to those who wait! Thanks to Madhus for sponsoring this contest! All photos entered had to be from 1994 or earlier. We have a few “guest” submissions. Peter Hale of Madshus...

All eyes will be on Vancouver for the next month. We will follow every win, loss, crash, highlight, side story, back story and more. Skiers, skaters, sliders, and couch potatoes will be glued to the TV, radio, internet, and twitter. Last night’s record breakers, ice princesses, and dramatic winners will be the talk of the day. By the end of February, as the closing ceremonies wrap up the Olympics, we will be left yearning for...

On Friday evening at 6pm I signed up for the 50km classic race at the Noquemanon Ski Marathon in Marquette. I hadn’t even thought about doing the race until I was in the Superior Done where the pre-race expo was taking place. Once I got there I turned to Dan and said, “Hmm, maybe I [...]
