We had a nice morning up at the Sunbowl with everyone getting out for 45 mins to an 1:30 on skate skis. There's some nice terrain up on the mountain for us to ski without climbing straight up the alpine area and several people on the team checked out ...
We had another beautiful day for skiing in Seefeld. The forcast was for temps dipping to -25C so yesterday they decided to delay the start until 10 am. The forcast was wrong so the wax techs had to scramble a bit this morning, but having warmer temps (...
Well I'm glad to say that we finally got some snow here in central NY. It was the first weekend of the winter that our local multi-use facilities had enough snow to ski on !(First classic ski of the season, I mean race!)As with everyone else we have be...
It's crazy to think that we're past the mid-point of January already... It's been a week since the end of Nationals, and we had another successful (if cold) weekend of racing at Titcomb Mountain in Maine. Full race report to follow, but for now here ar...

World Cup action was back under way this weekend for me in Milano, Italy. The race venue was really cool. The races were held right downtown near the city centre inside the walls of an old castle. It was two laps of a small and flat 625 meter course. T...

The weekend after the Tour finishes will have smaller fields, and this was no different. Still, The Americans will take the results regardless of who else shows up. Here’s how the women’s finalists progressed during the day: Flat courses will tend to produce times like this, where the qualification round is quite fast, and then [...] Related posts:

What a great time we had at the 2012 Sisu marathon! First and foremost, it was great to make the arduous drive up to Ironwood and watch as the roads and villages became more and more utterly submerged with glorious SNOW! In all honesty, I'v...
Another World Cup week is in the books here in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic. After starting off with a disappointing Individual race, I rebounded with two solid races in the sprint and pursuit. I finished 11th in the sprint but … Continue readi...
Paddy and Heather had a day "off" today, but the nordic combined and biathlon skiers had races. Here are a couple of pictures from the NC race. They do a pursuit based on the single jump. They skied 4X2.5 km laps and it was exciting to watch. The lead ...
One of my friends sent me an incredibly nice email, commenting on my blog and specifically, this line that I used to express my feelings about the Tour: "The pain of racing is temporary and the pain of quitting lasts forever"He had a great story ...
