UPDATED: Yesterday's freestyle sprint race and today's classic race at the Boyne Valley Lodge were the first opportunities for junior skiers to earn points toward Junior Nationals in Alaska. Previous Junior National Qualifying races have been cancelled.
Worried about the warming trend this week? We have lots of snow and even more man-made snow. You will be racing!

Alaska and Northern Michigan skiers led the way for the CCSA in the distance classic races at U.S. Nationals.
Northern Michigan picked up exactly where they left off last season, as the Wildcats’ Soderman and Frankowski claimed the conference’s top finishes of the men’s 15K and women’s 10K interval start freestyle races at U.S. Nationals at Soldier Hollow.
It was an impressive performance by Liz Stephen, who was second fastest up the climb, and jumped from 22nd to 15th for a career best Tour finish.
Torin Koos and Sadie Bjornsen were winners Sunday on day three of the U.S. Cross Country Ski Championships at Soldier Hollow.
The first day of the Junior National Qualifier race at the Boyne Valley Lodge in Walloon Lake is over. The day started with freestyle sprint prelims: a 1km freestyle loop with the top 24 males and females moving on to the elimination rounds.
Seventeen coed teams, 17 male teams and 3 all-women teams competed in the 2013 Six Hour Team Relay at Hanson Hills Recreation Area.
It's down to just one stage, the final climb up Alpe Cermis, with Kikkan Randall (Anchorage) of the U.S. Ski Team standing seventh behind runaway leader Justyna Kowalczyk.
Toblach, Italy, FIS Tour de Ski, Stage 5 Women's 3.3km Individual, Kikkan Randall (USA) finishes the day in 7th place, and is 7th in the Tour as well, 34.9 seconds off the podium with two stages left.
