A.M.W.S.C.
I wrote this almost a year ago as an article for an Alaskan Magazine. But seeing as it still hasn’t … Continue reading A.M.W.S.C.
The Olympics Pursuit
It is hard to come to terms with my present circumstance. To help me understand and process things a little better I decided to write one more blog.
There and Back Again: A Skiers Tale.
Alaska. Australia. New Zealand. Australia. Alaska.
It’s safe to say I got my fair share of flying in over the past few months.
I have to admit, I thought I had already written a blog for how the last part of my time in Australia and New Zealand went. I guess I was wrong. I was just too caught up in winter and forgot! Continue reading “There and Back Again: A Skiers Tale.”
Satisfying steps forward
Ski racing and more broadly speaking, being an athlete, is all about making small incremental improvements and gains in every aspect of the sport. Mentally, physically and technically.

It was so wonderful to come home after being on the road for so long. Just feeling the warmth of the sun, and having day after day of perfect blue bird sky was fantastic.

The 2017 World Championships
It’s been about two weeks since my last blog and a whole lot has happened since then. Namely, the 2017 World Championships in Lahti, Finland!
The Estonian mix.
The weekend of World Cup racing in Otepää, Estonia was a 1.6km skate sprint and a 15km classic. After two weeks of fantastic sunshine and cold temperatures the weather broke. It went from great, fast downhills to hot sunshine- turning the snow to mush! Continue reading “The Estonian mix.”
Training in Estonia
For the last two weeks we have been based in Otepää, Estonia. The team has been recovering from our time in Korea and preparing for the last World Cup here before World Championships in Finland. Continue reading “Training in Estonia”
