Conventional wisdom holds (so I’m told) that World Cup skiers go faster these days for a variety of reasons: improved grooming technology, improved equipment/waxing, larger athlete pool, better training/diet (on average) etc. It would be neat if this trend showed up in results data. Namely, have the top times for races of a set distance [...] Related posts:

Dartmouth hosted the annual Moosilauke Time Trial this morning, a hill climb from the Ravine lodge up the Gorge Brook Trail to the summit of Mt. Moosilauke. It was definitely the most winterlike conditions I have ever seen with snow on the ground before the halfway point of the trail and lots of snow and [...]

There are only a few things that will make me change my training plans for the day. On Monday Cork sent out an email that the new Salomon skis had arrived. Within minutes Matt Liebsch called about coming to check test and fit them. I rescheduled my appointment with the mechanic in Duluth and postponed my [...]
Okay so I guess its not much but it was still very exciting to see the first few tiny white flakes on the porch this morning. This and a few other flurries throughout the day was the first snow of the season for the Dartmouth campus and hopefully not the last! We will definitely see [...]

Only a few more weeks until ski season kicks off! We took a look at some of better younger skiers from last season. I posted a rundown on some data from the Dartmouth Ski Team’s Moosilauke time trial. We got a quick look at the ages of World Cup skiers, which included the hint of [...] Related posts:
After three weeks in Utah, I am now back home in Lake Placid for my final dry-land training weeks of the year. I am trying to make the most of my time at home because I will be here for a total of two weeks between now and April. After spending a few weeks at [...]
Sometimes it’s a good thing to ask basic questions that everyone thinks they know the answer to. Sometimes you get surprising answers, sometimes not. So, how old are World Cup skiers? In general, World Cup skier ages tend to center around 25-26. These distributions all have a slight right skew, which just means there tend [...] Related posts:
It’s only four weeks until the start of the 2010-2011 and everyone is getting itchy with excitement. The Sprintgutta has defined October Syndrome in the ski world as “the increase in rumours of how athletes are in incredible shape leading up to the Beitostølen races.” The speculation only creates for more things to talk about [...]
