The Devon Kershaw Show: We finally dry out and the men race a relay

Phew. Trondheim finally got a break from the relentless precipitation that’s afflicted us for the past week, and take our word for it: We’re grateful.

Tracks Set For Generations of Skiers to Follow: The North American Nordic Community Celebrates the Life of Marty Hall

As many of you know, we lost a vital ambassador and supporter of North American cross-country skiing earlier this week. For those of you who might not be aware, Marty Hall was a lot more than the person, along with his wife Kathy, who supported our World Cup coverage. Marty was a friend. As a younger man, Marty had been a football player, nordic skier, and track star at the University of New Hampshire before...

The Devon Kershaw Show, Lillehammer Recap: Did u know Norwegians are good at skiing?
