Please help me help NENSA… Myself and so many others owe so much to the NENSA program for all they’ve done to mold xc skiing in the US and now is our chance to help. NENSA has provided the ski community with one of the biggest youth development programs in the country and as we look to next winter they want to be even better.

Being stuck in Europe for Christmas has it’s ups and downs but the past week in Davos has been pretty fun. It helps that there is a bigger crew of athletes around this year with Kikkan, Jeff, Bird, Julie, and I sharing an apartment in town and also having some of the Canadian guys down the street to hang out with. The skiing has remained incredible for the past week allowing me to put in some long hard training sessions. Some of the guys and I even found time on our off day to hit the...

for me the Tour de ski is over today. I really wanted to race stage 6, which is a point to point race here in Italy, but sometimes what is going to be the most fun isn’t always the right choice. So we decided it was best to look toward the next world cup weekend in Czech instead of pushing through. there seems to be a lot of sickness going around among the other teams, so playing it safe is sometimes the way to go. Although my performance on the tour wasn’t everything I had hoped...

for the past few days Kikkan and I have been recovering and training here in Val de Fiemme before we pack up the cargo van and drive all the way to Czech tomorrow. It going to be a long drive but its also going to be great to get back to some world cup sprinting with a skate sprint on Saturday in Liberec. There us also a sprint relay on Sunday but with our small team we will be skipping out on that and flying out of Prague back to the USA. its going to be awesome to get back after being on...

Sorry it’s been a while since my last past in Europe. Since our last world cup racing weekend in Czech Republic I have travel back to Vermont for one night just to drive to the Albany airport the next day to fly out to Park City. I didn’t even unpack my bags or anything, just crashed in my own bed for a night and then kept on rolling. It was pretty rough and it felt like I had been traveling for 3 days straight but I made it to Park City on Tuesday where I will be training for the...

With a full week of training behind me here in Park City I’ve been having a great time working out with buddies, catching up with friends, and enjoying the simple pleasures of being in the USA. You just can’t get good Mexican food in Europe like you can here. So I’ve been enjoying that and getting is a lot of quality training in some of the most epic weather I’ve seen all year. We had about one day of hard snow in the beginning of the week and since then it’s been blue bird and...

we’re sitting in the hotel lobby using the internet so this post is going to have to be quick. I made it to Norway on Monday after a pretty easy travel from PC. After flying into Oslo I got to meet up with the rest of the team including a lot of the World Junior and U-23 crew. After a long travel day on Monday it was incredible to have a sunny ski on Oslo’s huge network of trails right out our door. Today however we packed up the van and drove a quick 3 hour road trip to...

Oslo World Championships are just one week away!! and to say that the excitement is building would be a bit of an understatement. Even here in the small town of Beitostolen all you hear about and all you see on tv is the hype promoting what will probably be the biggest event ever to hit Norway. Oslo is a beautiful city and is for sure the capital of xc skiing in the world and there are sure to be upwards to 100k people in attendance at some of the events next week. This past week in...

Thanks to the city of Oslo and all the volunteers who put on an incredible championships! I’ve never seen so many people come out to the grandstands to cheer or the middle of the woods for that matter. Although as a team we didn’t reach out goals of a medal and I personally skied what I thought were some sub par performances it was still a successful championships for our younger skiers and a positive glimpse into the future of US skiing. Thanks to everyone who came to Norway to...
