The good news: There IS going to be a Michigan Cup Race Series for 2020-21 - The Michigan Cup Committee approved a revised race calendar.
U.S. Ski & Snowboard has cancelled all national competitions for the 2020-21 season. That means no SuperTour, U.S. National Championships, or the Junior National Championships.
Originally scheduled for March 4-12 in Canmore, Alberta, the Masters World Cup 2021 has been postponed to 2022.
The Michigan Cup Committee meets this coming August 30 to discuss the upcoming Michigan Cup season. We'll be sitting outside, social distancing, at Hanson Hills.
We were up at 3 am, ate, packed up and headed for Mora. We thought we were early, but the buses were already heading out. If you can imagine buses to handle over 10,000 skiers!
The North American Vasa will introduce a Skiathlon as the marque event in the 2021 Vasa Festival of Races.
I wanted to thank everyone who generously donated to help fund my trip to U23 World Ski Championships in Oberwiesenthal, Germany. I am grateful to have come from such a supportive ski community who have always been encouraging and supportive.
Andy Newell will work with the competitive Nordic racers, collegiate skiers, and the incoming Elite Team as Bridger Ski Foundation's Nordic Elite Team Coach.
