Hans described it best when he said it was like skiing at a world cup venue: dirt and moss in the woods, but a foot of snow on the trail. We can't say enough about the job that the Craftsbury snowmakers are doing: the 1.5 km race loop is ready to go an...
The J2/J3 group arrived safely back in Vermont this evening, and the J1/OJ + Brooke group arrives home tomorrow evening. We've had a great time in Colorado and have gotten a lot of quality training in. As Sverre mentioned, the older kids headed over ...

I just got home from some sprint racing at the Sovereign Lakes Nordic Center, one of my favorite race venues. This weekend was a classic sprint and 15km classic distance race. Following last weekend's lackluster finishes in Bozeman I was anxious to imp...

North Americans Each weekend seems to be an interesting mix of results for the North Americans. Starting with the women (Davos result circled in blue): Compared to this season, that was an off day for Kikkan, but compared to last season that was pretty typical. Part of me wonders if she dialed it back a [...] Related posts:
After some solid racing in Norway and Finland, I came back to Park city for the first continental cups of the year. I was very confident coming into these races, as Last year I went 3/3 on podiums on the COC level. This year with the x-c form and the altitude, I knew I had a very good chance of continuing my streak of COC podiums. Going into the first competition jumps, I was happy with my level during t [...]
Coming off Kuusamo, I was very excited to try and score some points in Norway. I have spent a lot of time in Norway since skiing internationally, in a way its a home to me, and I feel very comfortable there. Once again the weather was challenging in Lillehammer. Luckily the crews at the "Lysgardbakken arena" worked very hard and had the k90 ready when we arrived to jump on Monday. After some better jumps on th [...]
Kuusamo:Our first competitions were in Kuusamo/Ruka, Finland. Coming from last years comps there, I was super excited knowing I have been jumping better with time. Also knowing I was in good form on the cross country side, I thought I had a solid chance for some top 30.Due to the weather, the competitions were a challenge to get off. I was there for a whole week and only got three jumps. [...]
Today I am sitting out the 15km classic. It was tough decision, but after last weekends 10km classic in Canmore, I was pretty run down. I woke up Monday morning with a tickle in my throat, (every skiers worst nightmare upon waking up!) but after ...
I raced today at Sovereign Lakes, first Noram for a couple of years. My top result in the past was 32nd place. Today I qualified 7th and was able to ski up into 3rd, for my first Noram podium. Pretty excited!!! Check out this link for a full race repor...
I pretty much couldn't have made worse predictions for the distance races at Davos. Regardless, here are more foolish guesses, this time for the freestyle sprints. Despite having been soundly proven wrong about Northug in the 30k individual, I just can...
Huge Props to the work being done by the Craftsbury Community! Amid hard working snow-makers we were able to get off a time trial on some cold snow this morning. We're in good hands looking forward to the Eastern Cups next weekend! (Pictures of m...

Black Jack Kicks Off! Black Jack ski team is off a great start. Last weekend we kicked off with a skate sprint and distance classic at the Alberta Cup in Canmore. Although this was just a provincial race, the competition was strong, with skiers from across the country including Quebec and Yukon. This weekend we [...]

After some off-again on-again decisionmaking due to a lack and then a surfeit of snow in Davos, we're going to see some unusual events this weekend: long(ish) individual-start skate races. A 15k for women and 30k for men are being run over a big 7.5k l...
Hello readers, I'm now in Silver Star, Canada and it is AMAZING here. The trails are always corduroy and the sun is always shinning. This is the best skiing in North America, well besides the Methow of course. We arrived monday night, so this was our f...
It wasn't glamorous, but it was snow, and pretty good snow at that. The crew at Craftsbury has been working hard to prepare the trails for early season training and racing. They fired up the snow guns and got a little help from this week's snowfall: we...
