Salomon “Ski with the Best”
Garrott KuzzyNovember 23, 2009
Every year in West Yellowstone, Salomon sponsored athletes lead a clinic called “Ski with the Best.” This year, we got to ski with the Duluth East Ski Team, one of the best high school teams in Minnesota, as well as a number of other master skiers in town for the Ski Festival. Since there’s no [...]
More Fantasy Nordic Updates
FasterSkierNovember 23, 2009
Due to some ridiculous overcommitments, certain Fantasy Nordic administrators are playing catch-up on their duties. The schedule for the first 5 weeks just went up tonight; We'll get results from week 1 taken care of tomorrow morning. Auctions for public league #3 will start next Monday, because I remembered that last time we tried to do auctions over Thanksgiving week it ended up being messy,

Busy day on the trail
Garrott KuzzyNovember 22, 2009
The ski trails in West are Packed. I’m curious how many skiers are in West Yellowstone for the Ski Festival. Not sure how many there actually are, but I’m pretty sure they were all at the trail head at 9:00 this morning. Tomorrow, the CXC Team Vertical Limit and Salomon will be hosting a ski clinic [...]

Thule Box Repairs – The Don’ts [1]
FasterSkierNovember 22, 2009
This picture exaggerates the damage quite a bit. We had to break/tear the broken pieces so they would fit in the car while we took them to a dumpster. The initial break was only in two.
Dinner with CXC
Garrott KuzzyNovember 21, 2009
I can’t remember ever traveling with a team this big. Our junior team rolled into West Yellowstone last night and the masters team members have been trickling in over the past two days. In total, we’ve got 12 CXC Team Vertical Limit athletes, 15 CXC Junior Team athletes, 20 CXC masters team athletes, and 7 [...]

Adventures in Air Travel
FasterSkierNovember 21, 2009
The airlines punished me yesterday. After years of flying and never losing baggage (I admit that I rarely traveled with skis), after years of hearing woeful tales of missing boots and borrowed poles, my luck finally ran out. My boot bag, which was filled with far more than just boots, never made it to Bozeman. [...]
Opener
Garrott KuzzyNovember 20, 2009
Today is the only day that it is illegal to shoot a firearm in the state of Wisconsin. That can only mean one thing: tomorrow is the first day of deer season. Students in the Hayward School District will have the entire week of Thanksgiving off of school, just to deer hunt. Enjoy a little deer [...]

Back in the Saddle
Garrott KuzzyNovember 19, 2009
I’ve been on my own or with other teammates for the past few weeks. As of this morning, the whole CXC crew was back together and ripping around the Rendezvous Trails. It was a surprisingly typical day in West, getting woken up at 4:30am by the elk hunters next door (they came home this afternoon [...]
Mid-Week Weekend
FasterSkierNovember 18, 2009
In most people’s lives, the weekend is fundamentally different from the week. In my life, this isn’t really the case. That’s partly because we train every day so no days are really always off, and partly because I never work, so no days are really “on” either. It’s kind of cool, but I rarely know [...]

FasterSkierNovember 18, 2009
On Monday, we hosted a great meeting with Jens Hilke and Chip Knight, who through their offices (Jens works at Fish and Wildlife) work on a project called “Staying Connected”. The project centers on habitat connectivity and six large blocks of habitat in northern New England. We had several Craftsbury and Albany landowners in attendance, [...]
BKL at SkiErg Sprints
FasterSkierNovember 18, 2009
Our BKL practice on Saturday was to participate in the 1st annual SkiErg sprints here in Craftsbury. It turned out to be a great day for an indoor workout because the remnants of Hurricane Ida were moving through and we were getting hit with heavy rains. The older kids did the 1 km distance two [...]
