Lukas Pigott and Noah Eckstein were on-site at Granåsen Skisenter all day. They brought back audio files from something like 15 distinct athletes; dudes are crushing it out there.
You should read Noah’s story. But also, here are some visuals from the day.
All photos: Lukas Pigott for Nordic Insights. Also, congrats to the team on the ground for talking with more athletes and taking more photos than I ever have in my on-site reporting lol. Hiring good people and getting out of their way can take you pretty far, apparently. You love to see it.
You’re reading this on Nordic Insights, one man’s labor of love dedicated to publicizing American nordic skiing. Last season’s GoFundMe is literally the only reason why I turned a profit in years one and two of Nordic Insights, and in turn the only reason why there is a year three of Nordic Insights for you to be reading now: I was okay with working for very little money to get this love letter to American cross-country skiing off the ground, but I didn’t want to lose money for the privilege of doing so. If you would like to support what remains a brutally shoestring operation, last season’s GoFundMe may be found here. Thank you for your consideration, and, especially, for reading.
