Former Michigan Cup racer and current member of the Bridger Ski Foundation Pro Team Reid Goble has had a great couple weeks. First, he won the Minneapolis SuperTour race. Then he won a gold medal serving as a guide in the Paralympics. Finally, he's been chosen to race in the Men's 10km interval start classic race (3/20) at the FIS World Cup Finals in Lake Placid NY. Way to go Reid!
Gussie Peterson is winter’s ambassador, helping people thrive in the cold depths of a Northern winter. And she’s wicked fast on a pair of cross-country skis.
Martin Sunby - now a commenter for a Norwegian sports channel - tells me to come back after my race for an interview!

With a few races on my repaired knee, the longest being the 20km White Pine Stampede, it looked good to handle the originally planned Jizerska 50 classic Worldloppet race near Liberec, Czechia (the Czech Republic).

The Cross Country Ski Headquarters leads the overall Michigan Cup team competition going into the Michigan Cup Relays. Can Grand Rapids Nordic make up the point deficit?

I need skiers to fill out my questionnaire to help be prepare for an on-snow research experiment at Forbush Corner.
Ryan Harris barely held off Drew Moore for a win by only four-tenths of a second! Sarah Newmister cruised for her first victory of the season.
UPDATED! Tons of snow, but warm weather caused some melting in the days leading to the race. Hard and fast tracks! Lost skiers!
Forbush Corner: Skied Forbush with Yvon this morning, out through the Pines loop and back to Crybaby, Roller Coaster and Badlands. Almost 100% coverage, surface pretty decent, fast and fun. The rain started as we finished up. Still lots of snow on the east side.
Forbush Corner: It’s been a great season! We’ve been able to ski our entire system since the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Four months of Pines Loop was certainly a treat. The current forecast does not give us much hope for any more grooming this season. If we do groom anything we will let you know! Thank you for a wonderful season.
