Ok, so I think at least 50% of my posts have started with "catch up from ____" so maybe my new blog page title should be titled "catch up". A bit/a lot of catch up needs to happen again here, so here are a few pictures from Lahti, Finland and beyond,...

March is the championship month for Nordic skiers. This season continues to make us smile -- and we have a few weeks of skiing left. Last week we had two incredible crust cruising days and members of the team visited a half dozen of differe...

There was a Norwegian surprise result on the last day of the World Cup Final, and the 2011 World Cup season. No, Petter Northug did not suffer an epic collapse and lose his 1:28 lead in the mini-tour. Northug was never challenged – the unexpected came in the race for second, where 20-year-old Finn Haagen Krogh (NOR) took down the likes of Dario Cologna (SUI) and Daniel Rickardsson (SWE) – rising from seventh place in...
From my last attempt at the Birkebeiner, I remember the start being a pretty low key affair. I’m pretty sure I showed up with only one pair of skis (which means I couldn’t leave them in the start lanes while I was testing them), and getting...

World Champs have come and gone and I’m still having trouble finding the best words to describle the experience. It was downright amazing and an event on a level above anything that I’ve ever seen. Norway loves Nordic skiing. The atmosphere at Holmenkollen was a testament to that devotion. There were usually more spectators lining [...]
Field Report from the Winner of the Yellowstone Rendezvous I thought I finally had things figured out. I have lived in Park City for quite some time now, have been nordic ski racing for a big chunk of that time and have been a Toko Tech Team member for several years. I knew everything I needed to know to have it figured out. I sold all of the skis I had that I just didn’t really use; all...
I arrived in Oslo on Monday morning for the last World Cup stop of the season. After two weeks in Russia, Norwegian food has never tasted so good! It’s also great to be back in more normal temperatures after some … Continue reading →
