Hey all- Here’s my story: After the long trip over that you’ve all read about by now and a great night in a tiny bed, we all went skiing. There’s a fair amount of snow here (and more coming all the time) but they only had a 3.8k loop open on snow they had saved [...]

You may have noticed some changes in these parts of the Interwebs over the last few days. Firstly, Statistical Skier has an awesome new logo, designed by my good friend (and very talented in all things web-related) Cosmo. He also happens to be responsible for the best professional cycling blog in existence. If you landed [...] Related posts:

One really simple question that occurred to me while playing with all this skiing data is, How many races do these athletes actually do? Now, I can’t really answer that completely, since I don’t have every single cross country ski race in existence in my database. But what I’m really getting at is the notion [...] Related posts:

Our first few days in Muonio have been pretty interesting. The skiing is great so far – it snowed a bunch in the last 24 hours and today there were many more trails open, which gave us all the opportunity to go on some adventures. I got sick of skiing around the short, well-groomed loop [...]
Yesterday I spoke to my former high school, National Sports Academy, about the importance of balance in an athlete's life. My post-lunch talk is a part of a larger series of speakers, ranging from sports psychologists to farmers, and their perspectives...

This past Tuesday I had my fourth blood draw in a month. And this time there was rejoicing - my ALT (liver enzymes) count was finally down, indicating the mono infection is no longer active in my system. Being a small town clinic and the fact that most...
There's plenty of beginnings and endings in skiing. And today I passed a relatively notable one, the one in which I trade in my trusty, slightly rusty Marwe rollers for my fleet of Rossignol's, which are all packed up for the flight across the pond to ...
Greetings from Finland! After a long couple days of travel we are now settled in our home for the next three weeks: Muonio, Finland. The flights over were pretty uneventful, except that our plane to Paris was remarkably empty so we were all able to stretch out and sleep a bit during the flight. As our [...]
Twenty eight days until what? Until my first race! Not that I'm counting or anything....! But really, I am ready. Mentally at the very least. There are skiers who mostly love training. There are skiers who mostly love racing. I ...
