I’ve had an amazing fall, with great training in some really fun camps. I spent the end of September and early October around Stratton:
The pavement around Stratton is some of the best in the world.

I’ve been getting the old camera out more often. Here are some shots I took for Andy Newell for his upcoming album.
October 5th we hit the road to go to Park City, UT for a two week altitude training block.

Skate day at the Soldier Hollow rollerski track.
Rosie Brennan hosted a Dartmouth Homecoming reunion at her house in Park City. Lots of Dartmouth alums are skiing at a really high level right now!
After the camp in Park City, we headed to Canmore for a 10 day on-snow camp at Frozen Thunder.

We also did a little bit of racing in Canmore as a final tune-up. Sylvan Ellefson took this awesome video clip of me and Andy in the quarterfinals of the classic sprint.

I’m now back in Stratton putting in the final push of hard training before the first races of the season.
The final push!
I head out for West Yellowstone on November 20th for the season opening Supertours. Look for a post around then!
