    <description>News and notes for skiers, parents, and coaches will be posted here. Greg will be posting the regular news for parents here and we will also be posting the training schedules and updates for skiers at this site. Although all of our news, training, and racing notes are emails to all FS nordic team skiers, this is a good place to find an archive of everything that has been previously emailed.</description>
