We skied today. It was awesome. Swix VR 50, 38 moose, two trophy bulls sparring, and perfect early season skiing. I can’t wait for the race season to begin! Erik.
Ky Eiben, Erik Flora, Don Haering, and Kikkan Randall enjoy a ski at Glenn Alps, only 10 minutes from Erik's house. Pretty sweet!
September and October are great months in Anchorage for training. The fall provides a perfect environment to ski train with cool temps, spectacular mountains, and endless adventures. Our Elite team has been busy in the last weeks getting ready for the season. During the last period we focused on power. Our recent test results are unparalleled with 19/20 positive adaptations. Here are a few pictures. Train hard and enjoy. Erik.

APU operates Thomas Training on Eagle Glacier. It is a summer ski facility. Coaches had a little work to finish before ski season started, so we started in the clouds and ended up in the sunshine at 6,000 feet. Gorgeous October sun!
Coaches getting the building ready for winter. Scaffolding at its best at 6000 Feet on a glacier.
Just beautiful. This is looking East off the porch at the Thomas Training Center.
