July 21, 2014 (Anchorage, Alaska) – The US XC Ski Team is in Alaska this year for their second training camp opting for Eagle Glacier instead of the Snow Farm in New Zealand this year to ease up on travel time and team budgets while utilizing the great facilities at Eagle and as Andy Newell quipped “…hammer on our friends at APU.”

The women held their traditional NAWTA (North American Women’s Training Alliance) camp with a week of dryland training followed by a week on the glacier. When the US men arrived the women left town (ahem)… we asked Newell about that in the our interview with him (link below) and found out that he did his first-ever US XC Ski Team camp on Eagle Glacier back in 2001 with Justin Wadsworth.

We also caught up with Noah “The Hoff” Hoffman for some feedback on his training, his shoulder and his focus on the 2015 season.  Plus we noticed the women cooked up a storm on the Glacier and we’re excited to see what the men’s team comes up with… more photos below
