Summit Nordic Ski Club head coach Olof Hedberg spoke from Soldier Hollow Nordic Center in Midway, Utah, on Saturday, March 13, in the same situation but with a far different experience as last year.
It was on the Thursday afternoon in Soda Springs, California, 12 months ago when Hedberg and Summit Nordic skiers rushed home to Summit County after the cancellation of the remainder of the week’s Cross Country Skiing Junior Nationals. The cancellation was a part of U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s decision to cancel all remaining domestic events due to coronavirus concerns.
“Last year at this time, I was standing in a trailer packing up our stuff,” Hedberg said. “The races ended right there, right then. Since then, it’s been 12 different months.”
