Opening the door to the points!

This past Sunday, I crossed a major threshold in my skiing career by scoring World Cup points! I’m really excited at having completed this achievement, but I’m not going to be resting there, I can still see so much progress to make and am already looking forward to the next race!

30k with 30m visibility

This past Sunday was my first World Cup race of this season, a 30 kilometer classic race at the Holmenkollen in Oslo.  It was quite the experience!

Oslo!

Photos from Oslo and especially the Holmenkollen!

I arrived in Oslo on Wednesday morning, making it to the hotel in Fornebu by late morning.  It wasn’t until evening that I saw any of the other US athletes,

Birthday at the Races

When I was really little, it was great to have a January birthday because that meant parties always involved a lot of sledding, building snow forts and generally playing outside.  These days, as I turned 26 on Saturday January 30th, my birthday still involved playing outside, in the form of ski racing.  Thanks to all my friends, teammates, competitors for all the Happy Birthday wishes and for helping me to have a fun day at the races and afterwards!
