October 17, 2008 – We’re stoked to announce the addition of Drew Goldsack and Caitlin Compton to our Skier Diaries section. Goldsack is a long standing Canadian XC Ski Team member and the talented Compton recently transitioned back to xc skiing from biathlon – check out Drew’s first diary entry here and Caitlin’s here.

The Skier Diaries section at skitrax.com features a variety of top US and Canadian Nordic skiers who will share their thoughts, impressions and experiences both on and off snow with readers. Each skier has their own page including a brief biography, photo, along with their top performances – all of their diaries will be archived by date allowing readers to stay tuned all season.

Check back regularly to keep track of your favourite skiers, or to learn about others as the section will be updated on an ongoing basis to provide readers with insights, and a behind-the-scenes look at the life of professional athletes as told by the skiers themselves. With each update you may find anything from a race report, to a recent vacation, to a training breakthrough, or their thoughts on any aspect of the sport.
