The last one in – Birkie 2020
As the sun set last evening on another Birkie Week, we would just like to say Thank You to our AMAZING Nordic Family. From customers and friends from around the globe who support us in what we do. To some AMAZING athletes Out There- @jjyeaton on her 50k Women’s skate WIN & @nichbathe on her 54km Women’s Classic WIN. Also to two other #AmazingLadiesOutThere @krishanson24 & @jasminewiley for helping to make crushing FAST skis this week. Congrats to @per_hanson01 on his 18th place Korte Skate finish and to all of our friends who as the sunset helped cheer in this determined Wave 70 classic skier rolling in at the end of the day.
THANK YOU!!!!!

Thoughts on the FUTURE of waxing
Are you tough enough to be a Skier?
This is really a question. Over the last few weeks we have had weather that has been getting folks fired up for the Nordic Season. Now though we have had a week were it makes you wonder if it has been worth it.
STRENGTH thru Adversity-
That is the name of the game in Nordic Sports (XC Skiing, NoCo, Jumping, Biathlon & Alpine)
Be it training or competition the weather plays a huge factor, though the mental toughness gained through those experiences it what creates AMAZING People.
From a three hour over distance run or roller ski at 90f to a delayed race start in January to get the temp to rise up to -4f what other sports get to have this much fun. In today’s world for some reason folks have gotten tuned in to complaining. For goodness sakes for complain to people they do not even know on Social Media in so absurd it is crazy.
Remind yourself that the things in life that give the most reward are those things that most often have had the greatest challenges. In the world of sport that is why the stories of those who had made it to the highest level have such amazing stories of adversity, hardship & more. And when asked if they would endure it all again, they all seem to say yes. So be it your first season as a “Nordic Athlete” or your 50th overcoming the challenges of training & participating can be large some days, but remember one little thing………………..
You still get to be Out There and do it!
2019 CXC/Wayne Fish Coaches Certification and Conference
Coming to Rice Lake!
Culture of Excellence will be the focus for Central Cross Country Skiing’s (CXC) 8th annual Wayne Fish Coaches Conference & Certification workshop presented by Salomon Oct. 18-19-20 in Rice Lake, Wis.
It ALL starts somewhere Out There
As of recent we have had a number of folks as us (a little odd as we start Season 11 with the shop)
“Why are you guys in the Nordic business?” Often followed by “Well what big races have you won” or “Which NCAA school did you ski for?”
Over the years as our Family has been involved in the Nordic scene we have somewhat gone quietly along doing what was set forth over 90 years ago…. Doing our part to GROW the Nordic Community.
We are super stoked about the things our Family (today and of years gone by) have done to GROW the Nordic Community in the Old Country and the New One. With our little shop and the support of AMAZING Clients and the Family of Team Out There Athletes, We hope you are ready for what the next 90 years will bring.
We hope to see YOU Out There soon…
