This week I took a quick trip to Ogden, UT, to pick skis at Atomic & Rossignol. Ultratune has a lot of beautiful new skis on the way. The first stop was Atomic, on the 27th, and things went really smoothly. This year's Atomi...
A quick follow up to my previous post on the same topic for women. Swap Germany for Russia, and otherwise the answer is largely unchanged: Once again, this is the number of skiers born since 1988 who’s best FIS points results last season averaged better than 50 FIS points. I used a more strict cutoff [...] Related posts:
Our last day in Italy was upon us before we knew it: two weeks can really fly by. We decided to go big and go home, setting out on a 20 kilometer hike from Schlinig, Italy to Sur En, Switzerland. The hike took us through the infamous Uinaschlucht, a go...

Today everyone visited different museums in the morning and then we did a little intensity in the afternoon. Anika and Kate did some biking intervals ( sorry, no pictures) and the rest of the group did running intervals. Our goal was to run the first 3...
Answer: Norway. And Russia. Looking forward to the upcoming season, I’m somewhat astounded by the number of talented young Norwegian women on the horizon. Here’s a quick snapshot of what I’m talking about. I took female skiers born no earlier than 1988 who did at least 3 FIS races last season, and averaged their best [...] Related posts:
This afternoon we split the group in three for a skate ski. Our group went to BMD and worked on balance and V2, the other groups got to venture out on other roads for a distance ski.Kate is starting to get much more comfortable on her skis.Molly has be...
Yesterday I hung around at the CyclovaXC shop eating powdered sugar donuts, drinking Coke, and opening up box after box of brand spankin' new cross country skis. I had to laugh because my wife already tells me that I have too many pairs of skis...wel...

All signs and forecasts are pointing to another spectacular snow year here in the Methow, so I've been anxious to get all the mountain time I can before they close up with the fluffy white stuff. Last week Alison and I packed up the camera and the Husk...

This morning we did some classic starts, speeds, and finishes at the Sun Bowl. Lots of good improvements all around as we worked on being fast off the line, finding good body position for double pole and fighting all the way to the finish. Most sprin...
If you imagine a typical skier’s career in FIS points, it will often follow a vaguely parabolic shape: they get faster for a while and then get slower for a while. Somewhere in between there they “peaked”. Our goal in this post is to estimate approximately when this occurs for each athlete and then see [...] Related posts:
