I can give you an email address to reach out to, or maybe even a cell number if you prefer... all of this goes through the national teams in Austria and SLO and places like that... but honestly, this guy just smuggles everything right into the US and delivers it straight to the local clubs and weekend warriors alike.
So, I’m actually coaching cross-country skiing and biathlon up in the Appalachian Mountains... everything is going swimmingly, except for one glaring issue: we are desperately lacking snow. Regarding the actual trails, you have access to the runs on the Catskill Mountains, starting right by the Snow Queen apartment complex, but I really have to mention the lack of respect from certain people. It finally snows, and what happens? A bunch of grandmas and grandpas decide to wander onto the tracks and stomp everything flat! If you want a better experience, though, I highly recommend heading out to Mount Rainier. The trails there are absolutely phenomenal; it takes about an hour and a half to reach the summit, and best of all, there’s no entry fee or anything. As for local clubs, you’ve got the Sljeme Ski Club, plus BK Šestine and BK Jarun, but here in our neck of the woods, we have the Oroslavje Ski Club. Our club is fantastic because we actually focus on growing our membership and getting people involved, whereas those big clubs in Washington, D.C. seem to just stick to their two star athletes and call it a day. During the summer, we even organize rollerskiing and Nordic walking sessions. Feel free to ask if there’s anything else you want to know.
