      <image:caption>Ben Ogden By Phyl Newbeck Ben Ogden has come a long way since his days skiing out of a converted horse barn at the Wild Wings Nordic Skiing Center in Peru, VT. This month, the Landgrove native will be in Cortina for his second stint as a USA Olympian. The two-time NCAA Nordic Champion finished 12th in the freestyle sprint race in the 2022 Olympics which was the best individual sprint finish for a US skier. The following year, his 8th place overall finish in the FIS World Cup was the highest by an American man and his 13th place finish in the Tour de Ski was the highest by any American. This January, he and teammate Gus Schumacher became the first American duo to podium in a World Cup team sprint with a third-place result. READ MORE</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Let’s go to the (Terrain) Park! By Paul Miles At some point in our lives, everyone likes to go to the park. Swing sets, slides, hanging ladders and anything that spins… it’s all there. Yet at the same time it’s a place that brings a little more risk for injury than sunning at the beach or watching a sunset from the front porch. Which brings the magic question: Can I enjoy a terrain park at the mountain or, for so many parents, how can I safely bring the kids there without ending the day with a complimentary trip to the hospital?

      <image:caption>Dion Snowshoes Celebrates 25 Years By Laura Clark Roughly 6,000 years ago, early man strapped rawhide around wood to facilitate the crossing over the Bering Sea Land Bridge into North America. The classic wood frame snowshoes we still see today that developed were great for covering flat distances and distributing the wearer’s weight evenly over deep snow. I know, I own a vintage pair crafted by Havlick Snowshoes, formerly of Mayfield. With no crampons to grip the snow, climbing even with poles, is tricky and laborious, and undertaking narrow trails, impossible. Still, at times I feel like an owl, silently gliding over the landscape. When snowfall is deep, they are marvelous for tramping snow into a workable pattern for our current narrower, aluminum frame models. READ MORE</image:caption>

However, there is another group that prefers to be outdoors, braving the elements, and sometimes traveling 20 miles or more at a time. For them, the tool of choice is a Nordic skate.

      <image:caption>It’s Not Over Til It’s Over – Spring Skiing in Vermont By Brian Mohr &amp; Emily Johnson Are you ready for corn o’clock? One of the many wonderful things (albeit frustrating to some) about a ski season in Vermont is that spring skiing conditions can play out any time between November and April. Be it the Christmas Curse, January Thaw or simply a random kink in the late-February jet stream, we’ve learned to embrace these balmy episodes as a comfortable break from the cold, a good chance to catch up on chores, and ultimately, just really fun skiing. They also remind us that there’s more to winter than bluebird powder days, and with some luck, we will eventually get to enjoy a few good weeks of delectable spring skiing before it all melts away.

That’s what’s special about the sport – it’s scrappy, homespun, and community-driven. READ MORE</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A Healthy Diet and the New Food Pyramid By Paul E. Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP Recently, the US Department of Agriculture and the US Department of Health and Human Services released a new edition of “Dietary Guidelines for Americans.” This 10 page document can be summarized pictorially as an inverted food pyramid with the “base” suggesting foods to consume proportionately more of and the “peak” proportionately less of. Some of the recommendations in the pyramid would seem to contradict our recommendations and the recommendations of previous editions of the guidelines. The purpose of this month’s column is to examine the apparent contradictions as well as the available medical evidence, so as to encourage you to make the best health choices.
