I arrived in Park City, Utah this evening… its time for me to get acclimated to the altitude before we start our race season really soon!!!! During my last week in Hastings I had the oppurtunity to visit some schools, and talk about what I do for a living (how cool is that)???? Hopefully [...]
What a difference a week makes. When I left, we were seeing highs around 50, clear skies and snow up around 8000 feet – really, quite nice for October. Now, we’re looking at winter. There are 18 inches (and counting) up at Bachelor. “Tumalo Langlauf Club”: is getting after the grooming on Century, which means my appeals for a groomer have been answered.

Conditions in Beitostolen, Norway, the site of the 2009/2010 World Cup opener, are excellent. “Sick” to be precise, in Andy Newell’s words. Vegard Ulvang reports a base of artificial snow with an additional 45 centimeters of natural snow on top.

If you have 10 minutes, it won't be wasted on this video. This is an ESPN segment from 1985, which covers a 30 k freestyle World Cup race in Biwabik, Minnesota. It's real cold on this day (-5 F) and these guys are just getting into skating. But the sn...

I love making things. And in particular, I really love to finish projects. I like finishing a good workout too, but sometimes I just like to be able to look at and use the thing I finish. Workout are useful in their own way, but just not very tangible after the fact, except maybe in [...]
