Grooming Report from Shooting Star: The snow is starting to add up as this current snow cycle has given us several feet of new accumulations. Trails continue to groom out well each morning, but skiers will encounter softer conditions with drifting likely if windy conditions persist. Outlook is calling for unsettled weather through Wednesday with calmer weather towards the end of the week. Enjoy the new snow!
Fast Tracks & Frosty Trails: Meet Nordic Phenom Nate Streubel
From powder-filled memories at Trail Creek to racing on the world stage, Nate Streubel is leaving his mark. He is a young man who has been working really hard for some time at going fast on his skis. This season, he’s been on fire—qualifying for Junior Nationals, heading to Norway to compete, and setting his sights on an exciting future. But what fuels his passion? How does he balance training, school, and life? And what advice does he have for other skiers? Read the following interview featured in JHSC February Nordic Newsletter to step into Nate’s world and discover what makes him a Nordic phenom on the rise!
Nate, do you remember when you started skiing? I remember first starting skiing when I was 5 years old.
Do your mom and dad Nordic ski? Yes they both are very into Nordic skiing.
Assuming you can beat them, do you remember how old you were the first time you beat your mom or your dad in a race? I first beat my dad in a race when I was 12 years old. It was a very special day!
At what age did you start skiing with the Jackson Hole Ski Club program? I started skiing for the Jackson Hole Ski Club when I was 14 years old.
What school do you go to and what grade are you in now? I go to the Jackson Hole Community School and I am a senior.
What are your Nordic goals for this year? One of my biggest goals is to podium at Junior Nationals at the end of this year. I also have a goal of making some Norwegian friends when I go to Norway in February!
What has been the high point of your year so far? My high point of my year so far was qualifying to represent the USA in Gjøvik, Norway. This has been a big goal of mine and all of my training year round with the Jackson Hole Ski Club has really paid off.
Have you ever been to Nationals before and is that one of your goals this year? Yes, this year will be my 4th year qualifying for nationals and it has always been a goal of mine to qualify and perform well.
What are your college and career plans after high school? After high school I am going to ski for the University of New Hampshire. I am very excited to keep pursuing my career at UNH as well as getting a good education. I am planning on majoring in environmental science.
Are you planning on participating in Nordic skiing or other athletics in college? Yes, I will continue to Nordic ski for the University of New Hampshire, and I hope to also play some intramural sports such as soccer.
What is your favorite memory of skiing for JHSC or at Trail Creek? My favorite memory skiing at Trail Creek was this one day where Trail Creek got dumped on with snow with close to two feet of snow. Even the groomed track was covered in deep powder. My friends and I during practice just went up and down Gut Flop over and over and kept face planting because the snow was so deep. We would go into deep tucks and the snow would spray up in our face. It was a blast!
What has been the biggest challenge of your Nordic skiing experiences so far? My biggest challenge with my Nordic Skiing experiences so far has been missing a lot of school because of races and training camps. It has often been hard for me to stay on top of my school work while gone on ski trips. One other challenge that I’ve faced is sometimes having a lack of motivation especially during the end of fall when I’m so ready to get on snow. I however always feel better about myself and have a good time showing up to practice on the days that I don’t always have the most motivation.
In a decade from now do you see yourself living in a place where you can Nordic ski? Yes, I definitely see myself living in a place where I can Nordic ski a decade from now. Nordic is a great lifelong sport that will hopefully keep me active as I get older.
Any other thoughts you would like to share with the Nordic community? Make sure to enjoy your time on the Ski Club because it sure does fly by and so many of my best memories have been with the Ski Club!
It sounds like you’ve been having a fantastic year, Nate! Best wishes for Norway, Junior Nationals, and skiing into the future in New Hampshire and beyond.
