Wild Snow has a season long column from 19 year-old American ultra runner and skimo racer, Grace Staberg. Last week, she started her season off with a bang: got to the semifinals in the sprint, won the vertical, and finished second in the longer individual event. All of the World Cup races will be televised, you can find commentary all winter long on Wild Snow, and Grace has an enjoyable podcast (Alpine Start) which usually comes out every Thursday.
