As a student of the sport of cross country skiing it is fun to switch roles sometimes and share my knowledge with others. This year marked the 5th year I have made the trip to Chicago for a weekend clinic with some of the most dedicated and passionate skiers in the country. Chicago doesn't get a lot of snow in the winter and so the local season is short. The community is awesome and the lack of snow doesn't scare them. We had over 35 passionate athletes come out to learn and improve over the weekend.

| Splitting in to small groups to give more one on one time to everyone |
 |
| Working on the basics without skis |
 |
| Creating more challenging terrain by pulling other skiers and dragging a tire. Training can be creative. |

| Chicago does food right and we enjoyed a Saturday evening together swapping stories from last year as we get excited for the 2012/2013 winter to begin. |
