Momentum: Chasing the Olympic Dream

Pete Vordenberg is a favorite writer in XC ski magazines. This is his first book and it is already considered to be the best view of XC ski racing culture ever. It's a memoir of life as an Olympian as well as being a kid working toward such a goal. In this book he pulls out all the stops and opens up skiing to the whole of life in a way we haven't seen before. He puts us inside the global world of a life spent striving for near-impossible gold in XC. "It is not a retelling of the little engine that could, but why the little engine even tried."

Vordenberg is a 2-time Olympian, National Champion, and a current US Ski Team Coach. He recently "co-won" the 2003 USSA International Coach of the Year Award along with his head-coach. Not coincidently, the US is finally achieving its first worldclass results in decades!
