Support US Skiing!

I am writing to ask for your help in supporting the National Nordic Foundation.  Long under-funded, US nordic skiers are now being supported by a grassroots organization helping support athlete development at all levels.
Consider donating under the links below for Bill and Henry Harmeyer and there is a chance your donation could be more than quadrupled!!! Junior skiers across the country are trying to raise $15,000.  If they are able to raise the $15,000 an anonymous donor will give a matching $50,000!  This kind of support will go a long way and we only have a few weeks left.
Please take a minute to check out their donation pages and watch the movie they produced supporting the NNF on Bill’s page.
Nordic skiing has never been stronger in the US and organizations like the NNF are helping produce fantastic roll models for American youth and a healthy lifestyle.
Check it out:
And thank you very much!  Any amount counts toward the goal.  If you can make a donation via your business or pass it on to those you know.

Photo Roundup

Two weeks ago was an “intensity week” which included the hardest bounding workout of the year (pics below). This past week included easier training and some fun training to allow the athletes to recovery from the physical load. We did some games and relays which serve as a bit of a mental break, as well. At this time of year, rollerskiing isn’t always fun since some of them have been doing it since May or early June. We also worked a lot on no-pole skate skiing which helps with balance and improves leg strength.
