Rikert Grand Prix - The Future of Skiing

This weekend I raced in the first Rikert Grand Prix, a three-day race featuring a sprint, a 10k, and a hill climb. While the racing was awesome, the conditions were not so much. The snow was melting and icy since it had been raining – they even had to change the race course. As you can see, I was waxing and writing my pre-race goals outside in a t-shirt… Although this is not the most pressing climate-change-related issue, as a winter athlete, it’s sad to think that future race seasons may be cut short (and we are already seeing signs of that today).
