September 19, 2008 (Toronto, ON) – SkiTrax is happy to announce the launch of two more additions to our Skier Diaries section with US Nordic athletes James Southam, a 2006 US Olympian, and US Ski Team member, Tazlina Mannix, on board with their first diaries now posted – catch up with James and Taz throughout the season.

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.
