Cross Country Ski Headquarters wins another Michigan Cup! Good job getting your skiers out, Headquarters!
The Nordic Ski community recently lost a great friend in the passing of Brian Donnelly. Brian died January 14th while skiing the VASA trail. To honor Brian, his friends are organizing a “race within the race” for this year’s VASA.
Because of the extremely low snowfall this winter and a few days of over 50 degrees, there are parts of the race courses that are very thin. We are attempting to make our primary courses as safe and enjoyable as possible.
Since the WPS got axed, here's a chance to get a great workout and run the course we will be using for our MI Cup skate race in late February.
The record 52 degree temperatures and afternoon sun obliterated the trail as well as the snow around the trail.
Our old snow in Bend, Oregon, is extremely abrasive and the S30 as a base layer helps preserve the wax, protect the base and enhance the glide. Pretty good stuff and it will not break the wax budget.
OK, so it’s ablation time. Well, not really. It turns out there are multiple preliminary steps that must be dealt with before today's ablation procedure.
It was a day of firsts at the Green Acres SuperTour stop, as an impressive display of depth lifted Michigan Tech to both the women’s and overall titles.
As of 4:23pm today, we decided to postpone any decision for cancel the White Pine Stampede due to the new snow that was arriving. We received 2+ inches during the day.
Michigan Tech sits atop of the leaderboard after the first day of the Green Acres SuperTour stop, as the Huskies’ Malin Eriksson and Mikko Harju turned in the conference’s two best performances in the women’s 5K and men’s 10K mass start classic.
Well, maybe not still, but I’d sure like to have a resting heart rate well below my current 83 BPM. I remember the days, a few months ago, when it was down in the low 50’s, a fond memory.
Men's SuperTour Classic mass start at Green Acres, MN Jan. 28 2012. Or maybe it should be called the "Mass Stop"...
