CXC Team member Garrott Kuzzy has been training with athletes in the Northeast for the last couple of weeks in preparation for a 2 week training camp with the US Ski Team at the Lake Placid Olympic Training Center. He took the opportunity to demonstrate the CXC community support model to ski clubs in other regions by holding the most recent “Get Your Nordic On!” clinic with the Mansfield Nordic Ski Club in Jericho, Vermont.

Activities were hosted by the Ethan Allen Biathlon Training Center, just 15 minutes east of Burlington on their 3km of paved rollerski trails.  The clinic was presented by Kuzzy and former Middlebury College captain Jake Whitcomb.  “It’s great to see the kind of free support CXC is giving to their ski community in the Midwest. They are an inspiration for our clubs in New England!” commented Whitcomb after the clinic. The dedicated skiers that attended the clinic were rewarded with a low athlete-coach ratio and personalized tips to improve their skiing.
