Yes, it's true. We haven't written on our trusty blog in many moons, and your efficiency and performance reviews at work have no doubt improved because of it. We sincerely apologize. However, you're in for a real treat, because today is a special day. No, no blog readers really don't care that today happened to be Crimson Nordic's first day on snow for the 2k8/9 season, but it happens to be the birthday of notable Ski Team Alum Andrew Roberts Moore.
For those whose most recent copy of Crimson Tracks seemed to have been lost in the mail along with their GM 3rd quarter dividend payout checks, Anders has since moved to Marquette, MI, and is currently the assistant Nordic coach for the Marquette Ski Club. Learn 'em good up there, Anders! (And if you run out of boring ski drills, calmly read them some Habermas and they'll peel out for an OD ski faster than you can say "American Pragmatism").
So happy birthday to you, Andy. Also, we've made a pact to be better with shout-outs to recent CrimsonNordic alums on the blog, so buckle your seatbelts.
Alright. Oh, yeah! First day on snow! As we speak, the Nordic A-Roster is packed into the cozy "Chateau La Femme", or annex cabin of Stowe's favorite five-star: the Innsbruck Inn. After a tasty dinner of steak and shrimp stir-fry (to the cooking/clean up of which I offered very little), we're all unwinding on the couch watching the episode of "the Office" where Jim dresses up as Dwight. Read, "Which type of bear is best?"
Skiing rocked. Solid cover on the notch between Stowe and Smuggs, we ended up with 1:30 of tasty skate skiing, just enough to get the lats and tris pumpin'. And yeah, we got it on video with our new helmet cam! Dive in below:
So that's our news. Beyond that we're simply busy embodying the lifestyle of "all-in", "all-out", "no excuses", and "live to win... 'til you die".
Happy b-day Andy, wish you were here.
Best-
Crimson Nordic, back from Hibernation
Bam.

I love it. All of it. The snow here in Quebec is fantastic. Classic waxing is a touch tricky, but the skating is good, if a little soft. Awesome.
