We reflect on our convo with Sam Holt from last week, listen to Zach Caldwell explain the Bill Koch Rossignol ski/grind project, assign positions for our Ski Classics team (and provide a name and sponsors) and respond to several Youth Inc. podcast episodes featuring Greg Olsen, Matt Leinart, David Epstein and Chris Long.
Keep on striving. Keep on skiing.
We sit down with 26-year-old Sam Holt — who decided to DP everything this year (and found tremendous success in doing so) — to talk about double-poling, training, the Birkie, ski fleets & Ski Classics and more.
After this conversation, GripWax Nation is living vicariously through the Mainer as he strives towards competing alongside the best loppet racers in the world.
