The trails have been unofficially open for a few weeks after the mountain received good snow earlier in the month.

| Athlete Profile: Milaine Theriault |
Despite having eased up on training and clocking more time with her family than at races this season, newly retired Canadian National Cross Country Ski Team racer Milaine Theriault is no slouch. For the first time in 12 years she often skips the previously hard-wired ritual of a morning run or roller ski in favour of staying in and taking it easy. And even though she sometimes feels the familiar tug of her still-strong competitive streak while watching her former teammates train at the Canmore Nordic Centre, Theriault is confident and content with her new lifestyle.

| Athlete Profile: Kazuma Takahashi |
In the world of nordic skiing, it's not often that foreigners choose Canada as their homebase for training. Six years ago, Kazuma Takahashi made the big move from Japan to Calgary, Alberta, choosing Canada by elimianation as his nordic destination. For the next 5 years, he spent the winters in Canada, racing on the Canada Cup circuit and mixing in some ski marathons when he could. Team X-C.com was fortunate to be able to recruit Kazuma mid-way through the season last year and benefit from his consistent skiing results and strong technical skills. This year, he chose to switch up the scenery a bit, making the big move to Canmore. X-C.com managed to corner him this week for a quick interview...

| Team X-C.com Post Strong Roller-Ski TT Results |
The National Ski Team held a rollerski-skate TT last week on their standard 4km uphill course in Canmore. For those of you that aren't familiar with the course, it starts at the T-intersection at the base of Three Sisters Drive, and runs up past the Nordic Centre main entrance ending at a few metres before the avalanche gate on Smith Dorien Hwy (Spray Lakes Rd).
Most top contenders (cross-country) used the NST 'test' skis for their time-trial to compare against their past times and rivals...
