2009 USSSA National Championships: Deep Snow Success!

“Whew! I'm exhausted!” exclaimed Mark Elmore, Sports Director for the United States Snowshoe Association (USSSA) at the conclusion of the March 6-8, 2009 National Snowshoe Championships . . . and well he should be with a terrifically successful event, the association’s ninth, concluded with some of the deepest snow conditions yet and terrific competition all the way through the brackets.

“The lure of snowshoe racing on Mount Hood in Oregon, the second most hiked mountain in the world, drew racers from all parts of the United States, some of the finest winter endurance athletes America has to offer,” added Mark. Read More

Running on Water

by Coach Steven Ilg

"Oh yeah, this outta work," I shouted to my partner, Joy, as I wheeled my cross bike out my driveway. A wind-whipped noon sky sheared my words away, and Joy just smiled and shook her head as if saying, "Just be careful and have fun." She has long since accustomed herself to my need for quixotic workouts within Sacred Peak wilderness.

My intent?

It seemed a good one to me: bicycle up to the now closed alpine ski area carrying my nordic skis, poles, and boots on my back. Then, ski up the vacated ski runs to timberline at 11,500'. Strip off the climbing skins, and telemark back down to my bicycle and ride back home.

The salient feature on my planned route would have to be the 4,150' two-sport climb in just about 9 miles.

I told you it was a good idea.
