Mission Accomplished----Ski Season 2018 is DONE!

Nothing like bring s ski season to a close (as far as skiing with the WolfPack Team)!  Many of us are still skiing and by the looks of our snow and current temperatures we will be skiing for weeks to come---YES!

Our ski season has been great!  The races went well, our skiers showed great growth, and our race team skiers are nothing but a stellar group of young up and coming athletes.  I have never been so pleased with our race team skiers as this year.

We just completed our elementary ski race which brings practices to an end.  Christian and I will keep skiing.  Some of our skiers request to keep skis for a bit longer to get out and ski more in our near perfect conditions.

We wrapped this weekend of racing with two visiting Olympic Nordic Skiers!  Tyler Kornfield and Rosie Brennan.  Skiku an organization that promotes Nordic skiing in rural Alaska sent out these two Olympians to help with the Bering Strait School Districts elementary ski races over the weekend.  We all had an absolute blast!  I can not say enough about what great role models Tyler and Rosie are for cross-country skiing and the Olympic spirit---THANK YOU!

After all the races a group of us went out for a ski.

We even got out the local American Ninja Warrior Nick Hanson.
