Cross Country Ski Headquarters wins another Michigan Cup! Good job getting your skiers out, Headquarters!
Keefer and I got in a great xc ski after work last week after the first big snow! The snow was perfect and the skis weren't sticking.
We are skiing!!! South Plateau has 20k of groomed trails.
Universal Sports will kick off a season of coverage of the FIS Cross Country World Cup this weekend, anchored by longtime sport commentator Peter Graves.
My research has concluded that ABR in Ironwood, Michigan is the place to go if you are part of the crowd that can and will drop everything and do anything to get good skiing now! It sounds like 40K of skiing will be open for the weekend.
The White Pine Stampede has fresh agreement with Shanty Creek Resort that may help the Stampede folks avoid the problems of the past 3 years created by lousy weather conditions.
Integration of new markets and countries will mean fewer competitions for existing or traditional host countries with several World Cup events in the past.
Several changes to the World Cup and Tour de Ski impact points and maybe TV ratings...
The trail conditions as of today are good on the South Plateau. We have begun to see Nordic skiers in town and are looking forward to visiting with old friends and making new ones.
This weekend the rollerskis finally come off as U.S. Cross Country Ski Team athletes shed their summer gear for the first cross country World Cup races of the season in Gaellivare, Sweden.
19-year-old Marthe Kristoffersen (NOR) won the classical sprint race, finished 2nd in the 10 km free technique race and took 4th in the 5 km classical competition.
I'll be watching same-day video coverage of the XC World Cup races at Gallivare, Sweden, this weekend, and you can too.
The Maplus Speed skate rollerski is fast and fun on the open pavement. Using an 83mm by 27mm wheel - smaller and wider than many skate rollerskis these days, the Speed flys!
