Matthew VoisinNovember 4, 2025

The hills above Moretown are the kind that teach you to move without thinking about it: long grades through maple and birch, a tangle of dirt roads, a thousand sneaky rollers perfect for running shoes or a classic stride. From the valley floor, you can see Sugarbush and Mad River Glen, their lifts still in October and their trails crisscrossed by hikers who’ll be skiers in a few short weeks. This is the terrain that...

Matthew VoisinOctober 31, 2025

On a late-October morning, Julia Kern sat in San Diego, sunlight spilling through the window after cradling her infant nephew. “He’s a cutie for sure,” she laughed. In a few short weeks, she’ll trade baby giggles for the squeak of ski pole baskets on the cold Finnish snow, but the warmth in her voice already says a lot about where she is mentally this Olympic year: grounded, grateful, and still having fun. “It’s been a...

Last year, the Birkie Elite Sprints, held on Main Street in Hayward, Wisconsin, two days before the Birkie, were a mostly American affair.

Torin Koos (Methow ODT) was fourth, and Tim Reynolds...

On Monday, January 5th, both the Women’s 5km freestyle and the Men’s 10km freestyle races were...

He continued his training at Middlebury College from 2000-2004, graduating with a degree in Environmental Geology. “I knew I wanted to go to college,” Rogers says, “so it was not a hard decision to make.” In 2004 Rogers placed 5th in the...
