Continuing the breakthrough season for the BSF Nordic Pro Team, two members of the team have qualified for FIS World Cup races. Logan Diekmann and Lauren Jortberg are now in Lahti, Finland, preparing for their first-ever World Cup starts. These are landmark moments in a skier's career, and they're fortunate to have BSF Pro Team Coach and longtime World Cup competitor Andy Newell alongside them to navigate this new experience.

Logan grew up in Bozeman, learning to ski with BSF's introductory Nordic and Alpine ski programs and rising up through the program to eventually capture a Junior National Championship. After a successful collegiate career with the University of Utah, Logan returned to Bozeman and joined the newly minted BSF Pro Team in the summer of 2020. This January, he earned his first U.S. Nationals podium with a second place in the freestyle sprint.

Lauren Jortberg grew up in Boulder, Colorado, and skied for Dartmouth College before heading west to Bozeman to join the BSF Pro Team in 2020. With two Super Tour podiums and numerous Top 10 finishes this season, Lauren has rocketed to the top tier of Nordic racers.

Both Lauren and Logan will race on February 26 in Lahti. You can watch it live on Peacock tv at 5:30 a.m. MST.

The rest of the BSF Pro Team has their focus on this weekend's Birkie races in Cable, Wisconsin, and looking ahead, we expect several of them to travel to Europe for the OPA Cup finals.

The BSF Pro Team would like to extend a huge thanks to the unwavering support of the community and their sponsors this season. Thank you for believing in our dream of a community-supported Olympic development program and helping us build this program from the ground up. The future looks bright!
