March 28, 2013 – We caught up with US star Kikkan Randall on her way back home following her amazing season in Europe and managed to score this one-of-a-kind photo with the now legendary cross-country skier.

Randall is the real deal on and off snow and during her 5-month stint in Europe she defended her Sprint Cup title and the fabled Crystal Globe; scored three individual World Cup victories this season plus a Team Sprint win with Jessie Diggins; delivered a US first winning Word Championship gold in the Team Sprint with Jessie Diggins in Val di Fiemme; took home two Tour de Ski stage wins and wore the Leader’s Bib (another first for the USA); and landed 3rd overall in the overall WCup Standings – yet another US first for the Alaskan queen.

Bravo Kikkan… and Team USA from your pals at SkiTrax Magazine.
