We discuss Jessie Diggins' epic gold and remind people it's weird to post creepy messages on Facebook... 

Plus, we shipped Ajee to Planica to grab some post-race quotes and he may have bit a reporter in the mixed zone....live...on Shovel Lake Public Radio (listen to the end). 

Both relays and individual starts are discussed and once again, we fill an hour with some takes only members of gripwax nation can interpret....

Stop what you're doing right now and listen!!

The man, the myth, the legend, and 48 hours post Birkie title, David Norris hops on our show to talk about what it means to go from quasi-retired and coaching Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club athletes to earning a spot on the World Championship team. Norris will be racing the 50k in Planica and we caught him en route to Slovenia for a quick phone call. 

Plus, winners and losers halfway through worlds and some predictions for tomorrow's 10k....

We talk about the salient features from Day 3 of the World Champs, which featured Team USA getting its first medal of the week. Plus, we forgot to touch on some stuff from the skiathlon, including how we were the only ones who praised Rosie Brennan's incredible grit in finishing out the race after a big fall. 

All that and more!

All kinds of hot takes here.... Klaebo a major disappointment? Yes. Choke in fact. Novi Sederquist running the mic? You bet. Discussing the girls race? A little, but not enough....we totally forgot to chat about Ebba but I'm confident I'll get another chance to talk about the Swedish superstar....

Stick around to hear from Rosie and Sydney as well!

Thank you for joining us! Tell you friends and subscribe!

Novi opens the show and we give our predictions, followed by quick reactions from Day 1 of the World Champs. 

Coming at you at 100 mph....

Plus, at the end, we discuss some new waxes that haven't hit the market yet but could revolutionize your training and racing.

Well, we won't be announcing worlds, but that's ok....also...

*Ben Ogden had more podcast appearances last week than I had bowls of oatmeal, which is saying something. But....what's the podcast he listens to? (Also, tune back and listen to our 2020 interview with Ogden, one of my all-time favorite shows!)...

*Our thoughts on Les Rousses (yes, it's still worth talking about)....

*How much should a citizens race cost anyway? (and, shoot us an email if you have a fun, well-run race we should check out next year)

*Random rambling and long-winded dissertations about nonsensical foolishness

*Bonus interviews: stick around for the last few minutes to hear from Sophia Laukli, Novie McCabe and Will Koch....

Jacob Huseby has been in the wax trucks of the major nations on this year's world cup and he's here to spill every secret. Plus, is Peltonen poised for a comeback? If you're like me, those two elements will keep you listening the entire show....if not...well, why are you searching for Nordic ski specific podcasts on Apple/Spotify/Google to begin with!!!

Enjoy the show and head on over to enjoywinter.com to check out all their sweet gloves, glasses, wax and much more!

Enjoy this evening conversation with Andy Liebner, the most fascinating figure in cross-country skiing. 

Retired pro skier, former Alaska cross-country running high school state champion, author of Wild Shot, and founder and owner of the United States Ski Pole Company, Liebner has about 45,000 hours worth of great stories, but we pack as much as we can into one. Stay tuned to learn more about: 

1) how USSPC poles are made and what makes them different from the other brands 

2) if USSPC poles are on the World Cup (you might be surprised)

3) where the lightest ski pole on earth can be found

4)something you didn't know about an all-time xc ski legend

Before Nina Schamberger and Rose Horning were knocking on the door of the World Cup, they were knocking on each other's doors in America's highest city. Both grew up in Leadville, got on skis a few days after they could walk, and are on the cusp of the big stage. 

Get to know a couple of America's bright young Nordic hopes on this episode, pubbed from the hospital one day after Christie and I welcomed little Ella Jane Sederquist to the world....in case you were wondering, somehow I got in a nice 30k DP session at Frisco Nordic Center on the day Ella was born.....life is one big training session.....

Some instant reactions from stage 5 and stage 6 of the Tour de Ski....

Ogden talks about something Klaebo did in the 15K CL....

Or...think about supporting my glide wax fund by becoming a paid supporter. We're poor and skiing is expensive.
