X-C

His VA doctors told the family the tumor might have been the result of beatings he’d sustained at Stalag X-C, where Paul was imprisoned after being captured by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge.

Anne Carter, from Carter’s X-C Ski Center in western Maine, said conditions are good for now, and she’s hoping for more snow in the near future.

While I have not broken any bones, the near-miss of a head injury, the facial bruises and bent eye-glasses frame from a nasty trip and fall down a fairly steep hill in an x-c race has left me nervous about doing it again.

I am now a cautious down-hill runner on the road and on x-c paths.
