Another ideal day in St Moritz. Course inspection is complete having skied each half of the race course the past two days. The course is groomed impeccably, start to finish and we still haven’t seen a single cloud. Unfortunately, the forecast is calling for 2 to 5 inches of fresh snow the night before the race which [...]
I know, I know...March is the best time of year for skiing. The temperatures are always hovering around 40, and the sun is high enough in the sky that you feel like you're baking out there on a 40 km ski (kind of). But we have to face the fact t...

It’s really some of the women’s performances that I want to call attention to, but let’s start with the men’s 20k individual race from the other day. Here’s the top five (click through for full version): Another impressive race from the youngster Tarjei Bø. But as you’ll note, not a wildly dominant race when measured [...] Related posts:
We had an easy ski day today. With races yesterday and the next two days our plan was to inspect the course and give the wax crew our race skis for tomorrow. The snow was fast this morning and with strict instructions to stay behind J2 coach Kiz Kantac...
A commenter yesterday noted that the TV coverage of yesterday’s women’s WBC race noted that the women’s shooting has been improving over the last decade or so, and wondered if we could make a graph to go along with that observation. Looking at only World Cup, World Championship and Olympic races, here’s the shooting statistics [...] Related posts:

After leaving the wax cabin this afternoon, it seemed hard to believe that we are halfway through Junior Nationals. All season we've been talking about skiing fast and looking forward to Junior Nationals and positive attitudes. The last few...
