Friday after US Nationals Kikkan organized the inaugural Fast & Female U.S. event! We had about 160 girls attend and most of the top women racers in the US stayed an extra day after nationals to be a part of the event. Kikkan must have been taking notes from organizing her wedding because the event had pink balloons, sweet t-shirts for all the participants, even sweeter black and pink ski ties and lots of food and hot chocolate. I felt honored to be one of the instructors for the event and get to partake in such a great organization.






These are some members of my group. By the time we went out to ski (the event was 4:30-7:30, after school) it was already dark but these girls were still excited to be out skiing. They really wanted to go out off piste so we packed a zig zag trail through the woods and tried not to lose anyone!
