This has been a very busy stretch for us at Threshold. One of us becoming a father for the first time in the last few weeks and all the imperative concentration that goes with that; and the other juggling 3 jobs all converging on massive high points. Well, in terms of Threshold, it has had us scrambling to meet what we might expect our listeners are waiting for. We recognize that this Birkie preview is coming in just under the wire with the event already underway in it's low-snow form, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.Chad's "hangover" ended up actually being Covid, post facto. So he regrets his inaccurate statement in closing that he'll see you all at the Birkie. He will not. A reminder, among so many other things weird this winter, that some things are more important than others...Have a great Birkie weekend and enjoy meeting David and Jessica on this episode.

US Skiing has seen a rapid growth to the top of the sport over the past couple of decades. We've all seen it... and watch the results of this growth today. But at one time, things were quite the opposite. That is, until Kikkan Randall sprung onto the World Cup, leading the US to places they'd never been before. Now, a documentary about Kikkan is premiering in cities around the country. Chad asks Kikkan about this experience and where we can see it.
