Still Nordic Racing on the East Coast
For the past 3 days (and 4-5 to come) they are racing on man-made snow up in Craftsbury Vermont. The Super Tour Finals and the National 50k and 30k races will be hotly contested with almost all the best from the US and Canadian Ski Teams onboard. In the first race Jesse Diggins, just back from a successful stint on the World Cup, destroyed the field in the 3.3 k prologue. (Of course, Kikkan Randall was still in Europe as she got an invite to ski the 2012 Red Bull Nordix race, where she finished in fourth.)
