Last night the team returned from a weekend trip to Waterville Maine for NENSA Eastern Cup #2. Overall the weekend was a great success and the energy was high in the van during our return drive. As with any group we had some good results and some not so good, but lessons were learned and […]
Welcome to 2016! The GMVS nordic team reconvened on campus last week after two weeks at home with family for the holidays. With some light sickness and fatigue after a big volume week the group was a little spread out to start but going into our second week we’re dialed in and ready to go. […]
This week brings the final days of school before the crew heads home for two weeks of holiday break. Since our return from West Yellowstone we’ve been chasing winter, mostly in the form of driving to Rikert Nordic Center, in Ripton VT. We’re luckier than most in that we do have a place with a […]
The week of Thanksgiving prompts an annual migration of skiers to West Yellowstone. While we had the trails almost to ourselves last week, this week we found ourselves sharing with the masses.

Columbus Day weekend was absolutely gorgeous here in Vermont and was the perfect sendoff for Lisa, our guest Italian biathlete. She spent a fun-filled three weeks with GMVS and was a great addition to our team during our stay. This last weekend she jumped into the first of two US Biathlon trials races in Jericho […]
