December 05, 2013 (Canmore, AB) – SkiTrax caught up with Canadian XC skier and 2006 Olympian Amanda Ammar in Canmore to get the scoop on her training and season plans. Ammar won the women’s NorAm overall championship last year season, but chose not to race in Europe, explaining that staying closer to home would better suit her prep. The 2013/14 NorAm season gets underway this weekend Dec. 7-8 at Sovereign Lake, BC. Ammar also revealed she’s dealing with an injury, but is still able to log quality training as she gears up for the Olympic trials in her quest to qualify for the Sochi 2014 Games: “I’ve just come to the conclusion that I have to win [trials],” said Ammar.
