A bunch of us showed up at Grafton for a ski today. The conditions are good, but limited. The little, flat loops encourage group skiing, so that is what we did. I guess it was alumni day, above are Gage, Cambria and Heather.Parker and Sophie enjoyed th...
During this lull before the Tour de Ski, I thought I’d show some graphs quickly summarizing how the US and Canada have fared thus far with some historical context. I think we all have a good sense of what’s going well (American women), what’s going not so well (American men) and what’s going OK (Canadian [...] Related posts:

The Craftsbury EC race vid is up. Those guys and gals up there are crazy about ski racing, they literally worked all night, non stop to give us a world class race loop. I missed some of our SMSer's while I was testing and tech-ing the race boards, so...
Wishing everyone a Christmas that is full of joy and contentment. And hoping there's a little new snow for everyone, too.
Last night (and for the past 48+ hours) I watched a movie because the Internet crashed in the entire Ramsau Valley. I couldn't get much work done or respond to all my unanswered emails but it wasn't for lack of trying, that's for sure! So.....

The only sure way to know, of course, is to wait a few weeks and see what happens when she gets to Europe. But there’s been some commentary from the peanut gallery about how dominant Diggins has been on the domestic circuit so far. This is one of those problems that FIS points are supposed to [...] Related posts:
The last weekend of Period 1 World Cup racing was in Slovenia. We had once again heard rumors of no snow and those rumors proved to be true when we arrived Wednesday evening to a heavy warm rain in Zrece, the town where we were staying for the weekend’s races. The venue was in Rogla, [...]
We traveled from Dusseldorf back to Davos with rumors that it was actually snowing! I was hesitant to believe it as it was pouring on the drive from the Zurich airport but when we climbed out of one of the upper tunnels on the drive, big fat fluffy flakes were falling. Snowflakes in the air and accumulating on the [...]
I really don't mean to rub it in, but we will be having a white Christmas here in Ramsau, Austria! If I could share some of this snow with all of you back in the States who are snowless, I for sure would. But as I can't, I have been doing my absolute b...
I was so happy that I was finally healing up and was to be able to ski fairly normally last Friday and Saturday. The ugly suit time trial was a lot of fun and lots of people came out to show off their ugly suits. It was so nice to see so many friends a...
I arrived back home for the Holidays on Monday night and will be home for a whole six days before heading back over to Germany. I have not been home for the Holidays in three years so it feels great … Continue reading →
Oh yeah, there were some distance races in Rogla on Saturday too, huh? Once again, this will be short on the words; just some pretty pictures. The US women had another strong outing: Once again I’d note the continued downward trends for Holly and Kikkan and the generally flat trend for Liz. (Ida still has [...] Related posts:
Skiing in the Valley This morning David Sinclair and I did a power workout on snow thanks to the Sugarbush Resort. We were able to ski around the base area of Mt. Ellen and we pushed ourselves to the top of the new GMVS Poma three times.&nbs...
Dear winter,I miss you. Please come back.Love,NateSince the snow is not cooperating this year (dang did we get spoiled last year!), and all the races for citizen racers were cancelled, I figured that we needed to take things into our own hands and orga...
