Kate Oldham got the U.S. cross-country skiing community's attention with her 10k individual start national title at Kincaid Park earlier this year. The Roaring Fork native wasn't done, however. The MSU senior competed at World Cups, the world championships in Trondheim, NCAAs and Super Tour Finals before calling it a year. And what a year it was. Hear more about what was behind the 4.0 student's breakout season as well as her development, dreams (which might involve horses, not skis) and secret talent (kayaking?)....Kate also tells us what club she'll be skiing for in 2025-2026.Support the Seder-Skier!Our supporters:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EnjoyWinter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Atomic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sporthill⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ We take the 4Cs: cquestions, comments, concerns AND compliments at [email protected] on striving.

Zach Caldwell was in Trondheim working with Davide Mosele from @starskiwax at the 2025 FIS World Cross-Country Ski Championships. We decided to pick the incredibly popular and undeniably invaluable Nerd Files founder's brain on what he saw and learned on the ski prep side of things. Of course, the conversation naturally went down a few rabbit trails on wax, grinds and ski brands before concluding with a quick recap of Caldwell Sport's neutral support at the Rikert Eastern Cup earlier this winter. As with any Zach Caldwell podcast appearance, this is a must listen. Enjoy!Our supporters:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EnjoyWinter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Atomic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sporthill⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
