August 18, 2017 (Toronto, ON) – We’re excited to announce that a new innovative SkiTrax Roundtable is launching soon featuring Canadian top gun Alex Harvey along with US star Kikkan Randall, veteran Canuck Devon Kershaw, American speed king Andy Newell and more top-shelf xc skiers including some Euro stars as well.

We’ll present the same question to the Roundtable and publish everyone’s replies through the season as they talk shop for an inside look in this Olympic year. First question: “As the new FIS President what are your top 3 objectives ?” Launch date is Sept. 15 – mark your calendar

We’re pleased as well to welcome back star U.S. skiers, Sophie Caldwell and Simi Hamilton who are excited to share their daily training routine in their popular Training RAP for the skivvy on how to balance life near the top of the xc ski food chain and keep your cool on World Cup start lines while aiming for the podium – check it out at skitrax.com.

Excitement is brewing with the Games ahead and our Road to PyeongChang 2018 “Going for Gold” feature in every issue and on-line as well will highlight the key elements of the Olympics including the excitement of the venues, athletes, coaches, strategies, contenders and controversies that capture the attention of the world.

We’re also excited to bring back our popular Fashion Guide with the latest “cool” styles in Nordic, plus our new Celebrity Corner and Retailer Shop profiles, along with our annual 2017/18 North American Buyer’s Guide in a new format this season with more photos featuring Skis, Poles, Boots and Bindings.

Our new affiliation with US Biathlon is another exciting new partnership as the US team is keen this coming Olympic year following a milestone season that saw Lowell Bailey win historic gold at the 2017 Biathlon Worlds and Susan Dunklee claim silver at the same championships.

Finally our new “Travel Adventure” section in each issue features resorts, lodges, guides and outfitters offering fabulous winter excursions and adventures this winter – don’t miss it.

As the official magazine of both USSA and Cross Country Canada, SkiTrax Magazine continues to be the most influential Nordic ski magazine, delivering comprehensive coverage of the sport from the U.S.A, Canada and around the globe.
