Canmore

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Conditions are incredible here in Canmore. Even though there isn’t a ton of snow the race trails are still groomed rock hard every morning and the skiing on the tourist trails is still pretty epic too. There are not a lot of teams training here right now but I think there will be more and more people showing up each day, some from Europe and some from Silver Star where a lot of National teams have been training. Right now it’s just Kikkan, bird, and myself staying in the hotel but the rest of the USST crew should be arriving this afternoon.
So far training has been kind of relaxed for me as I adjust to the altitude, but I’ll kick it off tomorrow with some level 4 intervals on the sprint course. Not a whole lot else to report on. I’m really stoke that we get to have so many athletes there to compete at these world cups. Just today we were in the wax cabin and Justin pulled out a massive bag of credentials which really showed how big our team is going to be for the weekend. so it got me fired up to have a big crew to represent the US on the world cup.

here is a cool video that was forwarded to me. it’s a piece by the Christian Science monitor on the state of xc skiing in the US.
