The U.S. ski-o team is headed to Norway, for the 2015 World Ski Orienteering Championships.  We'll be arriving in ones and twos over the weekend until everyone finally gathers in our tiny little Norwegian cabins in the woods by Monday.

The racing action starts Tuesday with a sprint relay! Get loads more information from the website.

The men's team is Ari Ofsevit (CSU), Adrian Owens (GMOC), and Greg Walker (Truckee OC).  The women's team is Stina Bridgeman (ROC), Alexandra Jospe (CSU), and Anna Voegele (Truckee OC).
