August 6, 2009 (Toronto, ON) – As part of our Countdown to 2010 coverage and celebrations we’re stoked to present our new Trax logo with more exciting news to come. This is only the second time that we’ve re-designed the logo since SkiTrax was first launched in 1990 with Canadian xc ski legend Pierre Harvey on the cover. In 2002 we presented the second incarnation of the Trax logo featuring an Alpina skier on the cover, and we hope readers find the new current version appealing.

We’ve also launched our Countdown to 2010 clock sponsored by One Way as the seconds tick down to the most important event on every winter athlete’s calendar. With Vancouver 2010 on the horizon the excitement and anticipation is building and we’re proud and humble to be a part of these historic times in the sport.

There’s lots more to come from North America’s leading Nordic skiing publication including special Olympic coverage in print and on line, new web site, more FIS Fantasy XC Contests, revamped Skier Blog section at skitrax.com, videos, photo galleries and some “cool” surprises… stay tuned.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the many fine people, writers, photographers, advertisers, supporters, skiers, organizations, associations, fans, readers – too many to list – for making it all possible.

Merci, danke, grazi, obrigado, dank u !
