Professional football, basketball and baseball teams have the Super Bowl, the Final Four and the World Series to cap off their season and declare the year’s champions. Amateur teams have playoffs at the high school and college levels to determine who has the best team for the season. For Nordic and alpine skiers, March is their time to show what they can do, as teams and individual athletes, in their final races of the season.
As I made my March list of “upcoming events” for Nordic skiers, I noticed this month is all about end-of-the-season racing. Whether you’re a young Bill Koch skier, racing at last week’s Bill Koch Ski League Festival in Waterville, Maine, or a veteran ski racer completing Bretton Woods Mount Washington Cup last Saturday, it’s the time of year when you test your fitness and skills against your fellow skiers. In these season’s end races, you can see how far you’ve come in your season’s training and how you compare to other competitors.
