Tonight I was granted the good fortune of watching the world tour of the Banff Film Festival here in Lake Placid. 6 films. Some serious… some not so serious. (although I do think Ringo would make an excellent addition to C.A.R.C.A…) Emotional heart strings aside, all the films were packed full of awe worthy adventure [...]

What a difference a day makes! Today the college kids and Skyler raced mass start distance races under sunny skies at Jackson. The Jackson crew did a great job and skiing was excellent for the womens 15 km and the mens 20 km.Pictured above, the girls s...
This weekend's gap in the World Cup schedule is just big enough to admit the Marcialonga, the 70km marathon in northern Italy. Second only to the Vasaloppet in prestige, the Marcialonga has - like that even longer race - this year attracted quite a crowd of racers, headed by none other than Petter Northug himself. That Northug is taking the weekend "off" to ski 70,000 meters of track in Italy

It’s cold in Alaska right now! I am currently finishing up my relaxed morning... not because I am lazy and slept until 10 for no reason, but caused by the fact that I am waiting until afternoon to ski. Waiting for those few degrees of solar repriev...
We have a saying, "Once and SMS skier, always an SMS skier" so today was like old home day at the UNH Carnival. Skyler was entered on the USST quota and 10-15 alums were racing for their respective college teams.We woke up to 4" of fresh snow that was ...
First of all, I’ll echo Nat Herz’s big ups to Andrew Musgrave for finishing second at Norwegian Nationals the other day. I’ve always been a bit fascinated by Musgrave, probably because North Americans identify with any reasonably successful, promising skier not from Scandinavia or the usual European nations as fellow “outsiders”. So I’m always kind [...] Related posts:

So you might be wondering what I’ve been up to since not making a team to go to Europe… And well if not, you can probably stop reading this post right now. Ever since leaving Jericho an epic battle has been raging on here in Lake Placid. Corrine vs. Her Health. Want to guess who’s [...]
Last weekend we had a classic double header in Otepaa, Estonia. Saturday was a classic sprint and then Sunday was a 10km classic. We’ve had a lot of skate races and especially skate sprints this winter so I was excited to switch it up. Just a week and a half ago we had heard that [...]
I am back in Europe after my short stay in Park City. I am now in Klingenthal, Germany for a Continental Cup. We will have two individual competitions here, before we head back to Munich to meet the rest of the team. From there we will have a couple days of training in Germany, before we all head to Predazzo/Val Di Fiemme, Italy for another super-weekend of racing. [...]

We just finished up our four day mini-camp in Stowe, Vermont. Almost everyone got six separate sessions on snow with a little bit of everything - lots of distance, intervals, time trial, etc. - and we arrived home last night, all appropriately tired f...
