I realize that fall is the big time for fundraisers.  I’ve got a fundraiser of my own coming up on November 11th – a dinner at Chilkoot Cafe (more details will be posted soon). But if you’re out of town that weekend and looking for a direct way to assist Nordic…

Last night, I went to watch the short track Speed Skating World Cup at the Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City. SO COOL! Besides getting to meet more of the Bialthalon team and Nordic Combiners (spectating was very social during ice cleaning breaks), watching and cheering for the USA and…

I’ve only got 5 more days to enjoy the sunshine, mountains and great training that Park City has to offer. And I plan to make the most of it! Official camp ended last weekend, but before everyone left, we had a pretty epic sprint time trial day at Soldier’s Hollow….

Usually, at a super intense training camp, there’s not much energy left over in-between workouts for elaborate film projects. However, this is an exception! With Jennie Bender’s excellent editing skills and some outrageous acting from the CXC ladies, we are proud to present a spoof on just how important recovery is…

Yesterday Park City saw it’s first ever Fast and Female event, with 30 ambassadors from 6 sports; many of them Olympic medalists! It was a super exciting event and very, very Pink. The girls got to experience Nordic, Biathlon, Alpine, Ski Halfpipe, Snowboard, Speedskating, Freestyle through different dryland stations highlighting…

Dear Park City; I’ve missed you. It’s good to see you, your sick trail system, and copious amounts of Vitamin D again. I’m living at about 8,000 feet in the USST condo, which is super close to what might be my all-time favorite single-track trail to run. The Mid-Mountain trail…

Last weekend, I got to help out at the Gear West Superfit/Pig Out Sale. It was really fun to meet new people and get better at fitting skis to people and marking kick wax zones. Every time, I learn more about what makes a good pair of skis and how…

We just finished up with a camp full of speed work and sprint starts. And as exciting as it is to be going fast, technique and coordination become more important than ever! Gus and Cork have been doing a lot of camera work and spending a ton of time on technique with…

When your job is a professional athlete, every little thing matters. How much, when and what you do while you train, how you fuel your body, how you rest and recover, how you prevent injuries, how you prepare your mental game….everything matters! Life becomes a game of details. However, sometimes…
