When Marshall and I decided to come up here on Wednesday there was more than a foot of snow on Main Street and perfect tracks pretty much everywhere. Since then late October and early November has happened. There’s been some melting, some transforming and 16 inches has turned into about 6 or 7. But, that’s still 6 or 7 more than just about anywhere other trail system has in North America right now. So I’ll take it. We skied at Sovereign Lakes this morning and Silver Star this afternoon. The conditions at Sovereign were significantly better than they were for the first round of Nor-Ams last year. The track is rock-hard but it was covered with a dusting of fresh snow, which made kicking pretty easy. It would have been good if someone, anyone really (we’re staying with Kuzzy and Liebsch), had brought some binder – but I guess we can buy some if it really becomes necessary. One thing I didn’t consider when we decided to come up here was that we’re still 7 weeks away from the equinox. That’s like mid-February style sun. It packs some punch. Hopefully we won’t end up on rock skis, but even if we do I’ll be okay with it. Real skiing on November 3rd (Happy Birthday Marshall) is not a bad way to start the season. Kuzzy took some pictures.
Defending World Cup Champion, and Tour de Ski winner, Dario Cologna (SUI) is back in action after recovering form a severe muscle injury to his thigh. Cologna’s recovery has progressed faster than expected – he was initially expected to miss at least 6 weeks of training, but is now back on snow after 5, and is feeling good. He got back on his skis at Schnalstal, Italy, and is spending November training in Sjusjoen, Norway. ...
CANMORE, Alta. – A pair of ski boots designed to control pain may be one key to Chandra Crawford’s bid to return to Olympic cross-country skiing glory. The young skier from Canmore created Canadian elation at the 2006 Turin Winter Games, stunning more experienced rivals with a 1.1-kilometre dash to a sprint gold medal. She stood atop the podium and belted out the national anthem, a clip that remains on YouTube, attracting about 137,000 hits....

Reuters reports that Italian cities Rome and Milan are interested in hosting World Cup cross-country ski races.
It's time for ski racing. For those of us with unreal VO2 capacities, unbelievable webs of fast- and slow-twitch muscles, fantastical abilities to handle lactic acid, superhuman willpower, and/or the finest pharmaceuticals in the world, there's the 2009-2010 World Cup, including once again the Tour de Ski (January 1-10, 2010) but punctuated by the Winter Olympic Games (February 12-28) in our
Another beautiful day in Silver Star. Matt & I are out of the hostel and living with Marshall Greene, my old Middlebury teammate, & Brayton Osgood of the XC Oregon team, in a little condo. After a lot of planning and travel, it’s great to be in one place for a while. We skied classic at Sovereign [...]

I always thought that riding in the team van was slow, stopping at every rest stop to relieve full bladders and top off empty Nalgenes. Well, compared to my first experience on a Greyhound bus yesterday, I’ve decided the van feels like a Formula 1 race car, flying down the road making wicked fast pit [...]
