Nordic Nation

We speak to John Munger, Executive Director of the Loppet Foundation in Minneapolis and Garrott Kuzzy, former U.S. Ski Team member who grew up near Wirth Park - the site of this March's World Cup. This will be the first domestic World Cup since 2001. The Loppet Foundation has been the glue keeping all the moving World Cup parts together.

Show Notes

In this episode, we connect with John Munger, Executive Director of the Loppet Foundation in Minneapolis and Garrott Kuzzy, former U.S. Ski Team member who grew up near Wirth Park. From impressions of Wirth back-in-the-day to exploring how the World Cup ended up in Minneapolis, we drill down on most (but not all) things Minneapolis World Cup. That event goes down on March, 17. 

We cover the cost of hosting, infrastructure demands, and how the pieces are coming together a few months out from the event. Thanks for listening.
