“Of all the seasons so far, this has to be one of the best to start. Two World Championship medals last season and seven APU athletes starting the opening World Cups. It says a lot about how hard we have been working and the support of our Alaskan community.” – Erik Flora, Director and Head Elite Team Coach of the APU Nordic Ski Center
