The best part of Lake Placid is the people, by far. It's great having a bunch of dedicated, focused people around.

Mostly though, I'm psyched to get a chance to hang out and train with the CXC team again. I love being in Alaska but I miss my old teammates!

Out here right now is the USST, Sun Valley Team, CXC, Maine Winter SC, and there should be some college skiers coming up for the weekends.
