I promised I wouldn't spam any more emails, so I have to post this here! There was a bug keeping people from getting into public league #3, so if you tried to sign up in the last three days and couldn't get into a league, try again!PS - Marthe Kristoffersen is criminally underrated this year. You heard it here first.

Fantasy season is upon us. The World Cup starts in four days. I have no idea what's going on!You think I'm joking? Kershaw won a damned FIS race this past weekend, ahead of some non-scrub competition, like some "Soedergren" and "Hellner" guys. I had no idea. Neither did Fasterskier. If you're looking for a year to interrupt my Fantasy Nordic domination, this might be it, because I'm about
I got on snow for the first time today and it was absolutely perfect. The Rendezvous ski trails have just enough snow so that you can not tell if you are skiing on 4 inches packed snow or 4 feet (except for a couple spots). Today’s temperatures were in the 20’s, it was super sunny, [...]
We’re four days out from West Yellowstone- it’s about time. And for the first time in a few years, it sounds like there is plenty of snow waiting for us. I’ve been watching their webcam for the last week or so- yea, maybe a little weird but if you can’t be present for the first [...]

Great weekend in Silver Star. Photo: Roberto Carcelean Finished up the week watching an awesome Packer game this afternoon, followed by an evening ski. If you’re looking for more reading, you can check out this interview I did for fasterskier.com last week.

What a difference a week makes. When I left, we were seeing highs around 50, clear skies and snow up around 8000 feet – really, quite nice for October. Now, we’re looking at winter. There are 18 inches (and counting) up at Bachelor. “Tumalo Langlauf Club”: is getting after the grooming on Century, which means my appeals for a groomer have been answered. There’s not too much else to ask for right now. Well, “snow in West Yellowstone”: sure would be nice.
I was caught on camera this morning by Sovereign Lake photographer Jim Miles in the middle of my morning classic ski. Beautiful day, perfect tracks. Thanks for the photos, Jim!

Heading into my second week out here in Silver Star. Marshall, Brayton, & Sam took off this morning, while Leif Zimmermann and Kristina Trygstad from the Bridger Ski Foundation in Bozeman, Montana moved in. Nice ski this morning, then we went down into Vernon to pick up groceries–my first trip off the mountain in a [...]

Bryan and I just left Marquette for a trip of unknown length. We will be in Rhinelander for a couple days and then we will make our way around the Midwest (Milwaukee area, Twin Cities area, Winona, and Hayward) to do clinics and ski fittings. Afterward, we will fly from Madison, WI to [...]
We’ve been skiing on snow for a week now, but today was the first day that we were able to ski in snow. Good thing, too. I’ve heard “Sewer up!” on group road rides, but never on a ski. . .
Today was a relaxing rest day on the mountain. Mostly catching up on business that’s been put off in favor of skiing this week. Brayton and Marshall made the cut for this week’s Silver Star Nordic Update. I got out for a light jog before sunset and took a couple shots around town. The building [...]
If you’ve ever seen the film Thank You for Smoking, you’ll know the Mod Squad stands for the “Merchants of Death.” If not, this short trailer will get you up to speed. . . In the Nordic World, the Mod Squad is the hot new team on the scene. The Methow Olympic Development Project is comprised [...]
Don’t forget, the FinnSisu SuperFit sale is this weekend. SuperFit is a CXC program where CXC Vertical Limit athletes and coaches work with local retailers to help skiers find the best equipment for the coming winter. I was scheduled to work at the event, but had to back out at the last minute to take [...]
