Race day waxing can be hectic, so rest easy the night before the Pre-Birkie by waxing in advance. Above, the author helps classic racers at the Mora Vasaloppet apply the klister of the day. Following is the Cyclova XC Racing Service Birkie Wax...
There is nothing better than nailing a perfect little adventure ski in Vermont. This winter has been abnormal in the way of having relatively stable temperatures and tons of low density snow. Last week we had a warming event that finally tr...

Following up on the previous post looking at distance results, the same graphs for the sprinters. Obviously, sprinting hasn’t been around as long and there’s typically only one sprint race per championship event, so “results per race” is kind of a silly metric to use, but whatever. There’s a lot less to say here, so [...] Related posts:

These previews will be very general and quick, basically just charting the overall performance of the major nations in championship events (Olympics and World Championships) over time. We’ll start with the men’s distance events: The measurement here is “results per race”, so for instance the Norwegian men averaged 1 Gold medal per race in the [...] Related posts:
Drammen is a town that is known for their city sprint every year, but this year they did something different and hosted a World Cup up on the town's ski trails. As I have never been here before, it was cool to see a new town and ski at a new venue. S...

I took this picture on my very first ski of the year which was back in early December I think. I'd heard there was snow on the Birkie trail, so I jumped into my bruised and battered Subaru sport and made the long and lonesome drive up to Cable to jump on "OO." I skied for 2 hours on a 4 km loop, and I haven't been able to get back to the Birkie trail since. ...sniff.... Normally that's a recipe
I’m not going to spend much time on this topic, since obviously it wasn’t a great day for the North Americans, but we can at least put a few of the results in some sort of context using my new-fangled graph, starting with some of the men: I’m sticking with the folks who’ve done more [...] Related posts:
