Nordic Pulse

It's rough out there: standing water, slush, frozen ponds, brown spots. 

Go farther north for a higher quality ski.

Rain and light snow is in the forecast for this afternoon, this evening, and tomorrow. We could get enough snow to cover up this ice...

If you subscribe to Peacock and you like Nordic skiing and you like Jessie Diggins, you may want to watch the documentary called "Threshold" that is about the struggles and triumphs of Jessie Diggins during her career.

A book I recommend on a similar subject is called."Good For a Girl" by Lauren Fleshman. It is a book about young women in sports and the ramifications of puberty and other assorted female issues concerning body image and body changes as they become adults. It is a great book to read for parents, coaches, siblings, and anyone curious about sports, sports physiology, and sports phychology.

We may be done skiing at Lake Creek this season and a tough season it was! But!!!!!! SVSEF has 12 kids going to Junior Nationals in Cable Wisconsin and we had two SVSEF Nordic skiers participate in the Olympics! Every kid on this team climbed their own personal Mt. Everest! This season we struggled with low snow, but we ultimately triumphed! 3 cheers to the SVSEF coaches who continued to adapt throughout the season and provided a solid season for their atheletes. Their knowledge base and dedication to these kids is unmatched. You have to see it to believe it.
