Kristen Rozell moved to Fairbanks, Alaska in 1997. She now works for a private consulting firm as a wildlife biologist conducting nesting studies on geese and sea duck on the North Slope of Alaska. She’s also worked all over the state conducting breeding bird and migration surveys. Kristen has been a cross country ski coach since 2004. She coaches a high school team, leads a training program for adults preparing for 50-kilometer skate-ski races, and teaches group and private lessons through the Fairbanks Nordic Ski Club. Kristen is also a strong and active competitor. Over the years she has raced in five one-hundred-mile ski races, many local races from sprints to 50 kilometers. And, as you will hear in our conversation, she has done many multi-day backpack ski trips. In the show notes, I’ve listed some details of many of those. Kristen is also a stellar runner and has completed the Equinox marathon almost 20 times, placing second tow times.
