It's official - The race season has begun!
While I was coaching masters at the 2009 Silver Star XC Camps, the elite crowd was chasing the snow, and racing down in the US (West Yellowstone and Bozeman) as well as up North in Canmore, Alberta for the first Alberta Cup of the Season!
Team Salomon skiers shot ahead with multiple podiums over the past two weekends - Here are a few team highlights...
