We discuss our trip down to Colorado Springs to cover the state xc meet, which included a little scoping out of the Barr Trail, the Pikes Peak Ascent course.

Plus, Zak Ketterson switches to Leki poles and Erik Bjornsen launches his own pole company....we talk about OneWay, Swix, Leki and the USSPC differences....and the ski pole invention we don't think will change really anything....

Snow has fallen in Leadville - so it's time to get out and log some K's...

Keep on striving. Keep on skiing.
