Here is a unique coaching opportunity from the Methow Valley's own Novie McCabe, and two of her Team USA mates: Luke Jager and JC Schoonmaker: Three of the best young members of the surging Team USA cross country ski team, Novie, Luke and JC are offering direct access coaching plans and regular 1-1 advice. This a super opportunity for anyone looking for new ideas/inspiration for their ski training with some great people who are up to date on the best training strategies and techniques in the world.
With each of them being members of the most recent Olympics and current World Cup teams, and results such as World Jr Champs relay golds, a World Cup podium, winning multiple NCAA championships, their cred speaks for itself.
Its important to them to keep their numbers down to where they can commit fully to each client so now is a good time to jump on this unique opportunity.

The other "S2S" ski marathon pulled off an amazing inaugural event and is highly recommended to all who have participated in our own S2S! The BC version: Sovereign Lakes to Silver Star provided excellent courses, conditions and organization. A bucket list item for everyone who enjoys point to point, challenging courses. Ski to the Sun OC members took part in the BC version and will definitely be returning next year.
