Matt Liebsch is the part-owner of Pioneer Midwest and Brian Gregg is a financial advisor.
....oh yeah, and they're both former World Cup skiers.....
Most importantly: they're also DADS.
If you've ever ski-raced a major marathon in North America, you probably saw their names at the top of the results list...you know they can still bring it on the course. Today on the show, we look at how these two elite-athletes juggle family, fatherhood and fitness at various stages of a career — from World Cup dreaming to master-blaster screaming.
This is a good one, people.... you won't want to miss it!

We discuss the importance of the afternoon mocha and some drama we've encountered trying to find it at local gas stations over the last winter....
Plus....is 'fun' a good compass/motivation for athletes? Or is it a symptom of a deeper problem.
And...my wife has seen "Hoosiers" for the first time.....how does that connect to skiing? Take a listen and maybe you'll find out....

The future of U.S. Skiing has been the focus of the podcast all month....and today we bring you our interview with the queen of that convo: 18-year-old Sammy Smith.
The multi-sport superstar chats about...well, everything — how she started in the sport, how she balances soccer and skiing, her plans and goals for next year and beyond and whether or not she feels any pressure to take the baton from Kikkan and Jessie.
Thanks for hopping on the show, Sammy!
***Interview starts at 15 min. Sorry for the two minutes of silence! Ajee screwed up the editing....

The SederSkier Podcast is back and we dive right into the biggest stories of the summer: is Sophia Laukli a world-class runner? Who is wrong in the Norwegian national team/Klaebo drama
...plus, we get a few preposterous statement tournament nominees....

The pitch was: 'hey, I wonder what the old Denver Nuggets play-by-play was thinking from the Colorado Rockies booth when his old team won their first NBA title?'
Our conversation went way beyond that, however, and for good reason. Jerry Schemmel has done a lot. In addition to broadcasting, he's also biked across America a few times (won the RAAM two-person event in 2015), written a book, survived a plane crash, and earned a law degree.
If you like hearing from successful people who live with intentionality, you'll appreciate this man's Nuggets of wisdom.
Check out the Vail Daily for a profile I wrote on Jerry.

We split things up — first half is mostly running and the second is Nordic skiing — in this bonus double-length episode of the best cross-country ski podcast ... English-speaking ... on this side of the Atlantic. ....
First, Sederquist talks about what makes the Mountain Games in Vail so special, why high school should go back to one class (maybe two), and the aspect of Jakob Ingebrigtsen's greatness no one is mentioning. Then, we analyze Alayna Sonneyn's interview with David Norris regarding national team selection criteria.
Stick around for the end — we've also received nominations for the 2024 preposterous statement tournament, and they're excellent.

Well, last week's show was all nonsense celebration and preposterousness, but on this edition of the SederSkier Podcast we get into the meat of the matter.
First, we honor the life of NSIC legend Paul Yak, who passed away last week - a tremendous runner we lost far too soon.
Then, it's right into the ins and outs of all things hot, controversial XC skiing takes....and there's serious controversy.
-
What's wrong with ski journalists and the difference between being in PR and writing hard news pieces.....
-
A nice climate-change rant...
-
What do we think of the FIS Games?
-
The Russians are banned again - but the IOC doesn't agree with FIS....why? And, how is the Russian online press covering this?
-
Why do we think Klaebo was thrilled about the Norwegian team cutting its budget
-
We close with some EPIC controversy hidden deep within the FIS congress committee reports
Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/support
There's a lot of really important Nordic news out there to get to (Klaebo leaving the national team, Russians getting banned, FIS Games ...what is that? ....) and at some point, we will discuss it, but first: more important stuff.
There is no better way to kick off season 4 of sederskiing than going back to last year....and finally paying off our tease to hand out some year end awards. We have male and female performers of the year, moments of the year, race of the year, Sporthill Slo-mos of the year, Americans of the Year, quote of the year, and, of course, the Preposterous Statement of the Year.
We also read a listener email (if you'd like to email the show, reach out to sederskier@gmail.com).
You might not learn anything, but that's ok, there's other podcasts for that. We've got long rants, luke-warm hot-takes, and probably totally uncalled-for analogies in a sport so niche it's carried this even-more-niche show to the number four slot in "Nordic Ski-specific podcasts in Lake County, Colorado."
Enjoy.

Former 24-hour xc ski distance world record holder Teemu Virtanen joins us for a show that will please not only double-pole dorks world wide but every single person who sets goals and goes after them.
On this show, we pick the Ski Classics commentator's brain about his recent attempt at taking back that 24 hour record - how he prepared, how it went, all that…
....we also talked about his life in the U.S., and how he went from dropping skiing cold turkey while he worked in Hollywood…that’s right…all before he ever went over 400k in a day…
Finally, we chatted about DP technique and the state of the ski classics union...listen to find out whether or not it's coming to North America....
Thank you Teemu! It was so fun talking to you!

"But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart,"
If you don't have the right appreciation for Rosie Brennan, you will after this show.
At 34 years old, the two-time Olympian — twice cut by the U.S. Ski team — was fourth in the overall World Cup standings, the second time she’s done so in the last three years. She finished fifth in the World Championships 30k, said by some to be one of the best distance performances by an American skier ever. We talk about everything – the past, the future, skis, development, and what question she'd prefer a journalist to ask her in the finish zone.
"It's not about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward
...that's how winning is done!!!!"
Thanks Rosie!

We spoke to Val Constien and Rosie Brennan today and can't wait for those shows to drop so stay tuned, invite your friends, and feast on some of those old episodes (wouldn't you just like to hear a 2021 World Cup TDS rant right about now!?).

We were on site in Leadville, Colorado for the fourth annual Equinox 24hr Ultra Ski and spoke with winner Tayte Pullman as well as runner-up John Henry Paluszek. The pair duked it out for about 200k before Pullman pulled away. We also talked with a 16-year old high school junior who went over 100k and the founder of the event, Dan Batwinas and his son Jacob, who stayed up all night on his birthday to count laps.
We'll have Falun World Cup coverage/recap/discussion coming later in the week.

From the Minnesota-special intro to the bonus material at the end of the podcast, we've got it all for you this week.
Joining the show is pro track-turned-trail runner Garrett Heath. The Winona, MN product not only pulled off the DOUBLE triple crown — back-to-back 1600, 3200, and xc titles (kiddos, this was back before the MSHSL softened everything and made three classes, too) — he added two Nordic ski titles as well (which is, in case you were wondering, as many titles as Zak Ketterson won).
The 9x Stanford All-American has had a legendary career, and it's still going. After competing in the 5,000-meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2021, Heath made the move to the pro trail scene.
On this show, we talk about his upbringing, a little Nordic nonsense, what caused the shift to the trails, what's surprised him, and how it's changed his training. We also....and we know this is what you really care about ...discuss the epic Elliott Heath Birkie Mystery.
Heath is ending his season this Saturday on the Birkie trails for the USATF Half Marathon Trail Champs. On the show, we discuss who figures to be his biggest competition, and it's probably not who you — or maybe even he — was thinking.
Stick around for a BONUS 75-seconds of show that we are opening up for free to everyone, just this once. Next time, it will require a $99.99/week subscription. Plus, we threw in the 2015 hit which, to date, is only available on this show and in the CD drawer of a few random athletes on the three-peat Alamosa High School XC team.

As Dan Hobbs’ eyes ricochet off his suit coat and out his Rand Tower office window at the Marquette Avenue traffic below, his mind can’t help but wander back to Colorado.
In 2013, he bolted for the mountains, convinced they could heal him from severe depression.
It worked.
He hiked all 58 14,000-foot peaks in the centennial state in just 24-days.
Now, two years later, he’s at another midlife juncture. scornfully sizing up his suitcoat, he glances back at his screen, where a story about Andrew Hamilton’s new supported 14er record — 10 days — evokes a covetous stare.
“This should be me,” he mutters to himself.
Hobbs’ first venture to Colorado reminded him of life’s beauty.
His second — where he would lower the self-supported 14er record to 14 days, 17 hours and 33 minutes — would teach him how to thrive in its darkest moments.
We're so excited to share Dan's story — the first interview since setting the self-supported FKT for climbing all 58 14ers in Colorado — he's truly an amazing individual!

Hobbs Kessler recently shattered Alan Webb’s high school 1500m record (also breaking Jim Ryun’s 55 year old U20 record as well) with a 3:34.36. This time is also faster than the NCAA DI 1500 meter record. Kessler, who was a 4:24 miler as recently as the start of the pandemic, has committed to running at Northern Arizona. The question has arisen with him, as it did with Mary Cain, Katelyn Tuohy, and Drew Hunter before - should you capitalize on your financial value now and turn pro? Or should you go to college and develop there? Our answer, in typical Skieologian form, attacks the foundational issue with this question.

Let's start 2021 off the right way by joining us for a J-term book study.
Learn why, in order to provide a defense for the faith, the Christian needs to:
-
understand our discussion with the unbeliever is NOT about evidence, but about worldviews, and that it is glorifying to God, edifying to the believer, and evangelistic to the unbeliever to proclaim the truth of the Christian worldview, which finds its glorious consistency in the authority of the self-authenticating, God-breathed Scripture.
-
be able to provide a defense for the authority of Scripture
-
learn how to interpret scripture by studying hermeneutics
-
believe and understand the depth of key doctrines: the trinity and the doctrines of grace/salvation
We discuss 7 books to read that progressively address each of these. Reading them will either change your walk or greatly improve it.

The Seder-Skier listens to a lot of sermons during those long hours on the bike and skis, and we decided it might be cool to talk about questions we have relating to them. Our first sermon comes fresh off the press (October 4th, FBC of Leadville, Pastor Tanner Thetford; "Jesus Take the Wheel?"), and wasn't listened to via an audio download. However, our normal Q&A which takes place after the sermon was cancelled this week.
I just had to ask Pastor Tanner some questions, and thought a few of my listeners might be interested in the topic. The first 10-12 minutes is me giving a brief summary of the sermon. Skip to about the 12 minute mark to hear my question and answer (that is right, I did pose my own answer to my question, but am looking for some sharpening from Tanner as well as some of my other friends in Christ.
Basically - we ask if there is inherent contradiction in the statement: "Because God is in control of all things, we should trust in Him rather than taking matters into our own hands." By harmonizing two Pauline texts - Ephesians 1:11 and Philippians 2:12-13, we pose our own answer, but wish to allow Pastor Tanner and some of our other friends in Christ to illuminate a correct interpretation of this text and some others.
