The warm weather in Muonio has continued and it feels a lot like April in Vermont. The forecast had called for a fair amount of snow the past two days here but then the temperatures were a few degrees too warm and the precipitation came as rain. Luckily they spread the manmade and saved snow [...]
Clare, Ida and I decided that we needed to celebrate Halloween, even though we were in Finland. Clearly, this needed to involve costumes. Also I have a bit of a pumpkin carving tradition that I’m trying to keep up, and since I hadn’t carved one at home before we left, I crossed my fingers and [...]

When I woke up today, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. I wanted to rush around the house and wake everybody up and show them the beautiful snow outside. Unfortunately, there was no one to wake up except Emily, and I figured she’d appreciate being able to sleep in on her day off. [...]

As Nordic ski racers, we are incredibly lucky and spend many months of the year travelling around the world, training and racing in faraway lands. Most of the winter is spent living out of a suitcase and moving from place to place. But with the focus centered squarely on racing fast, training and resting takes [...]

Last year in Mounio the warmest wax we used was in the blue range so this year’s packing list lacked many of the warmer waxes and the unseasonably warm weather here has quickly drained our small supply. The ski shop in town is also not accustomed to stocking a lot of warm waxes at this [...]

We arrived in Finland on Tuesday at the Rovaniemi airport, where the temperature was +5 Celsius, the sky gray, and the earth brown. During the drive north to Muonio, our home for the next 3 weeks, the thermometer dropped a few degrees and at one point along the road we saw what looked like a [...]
The end of the Utah camp ended on a high note for me. First of all, I’m going to Sweden! The Utah rollerski races, along with the Jericho races back in August, served as qualifiers for the first international races of the year. I saved my best race for the last qualifier [...]
It’s October, which means I’m training in Utah’s Heber Valley for our biathlon team’s annual fall altitude camp. Every day so far has been warm, sunny and beautiful on the valley floor. The surrounding Wasatch mountains are capped with fresh snow; a promising reminder of the skiing soon to come. Solider [...]

Misty mornings. Waking up engulfed by a cloud. Trees slowly materialize out of whiteness. Half an hour into our rollerski, the fog has completely burned off in the Black River Valley. A perfect fall day. 300 lbs of crisp fall apples are stacked, crammed, into the back of a red minivan. They totter and shift precariously [...]
