Deb Diggins:  A Minnesota Ski Family's Journey from the Miniloppet to the World Cup:  

This presentation will answer questions that Deb is often asked such as "What is it like to be Jessie Diggins Mom?"

and "What is the path that Jessie and her family traveled from enthusiastic recreational skiing to world class competition?" 

Deb Diggins was born in Quebec, moved to Duluth at a young age, and grew up enjoying the outdoors

in every season.  An alpine skier, she had to be bribed by her future husband with an outdoor picnic

in order to get on cross country skis. It didn't take long for her to fall for the sport, and she and her family 

have been spending winters on cross country skis ever since.  Deb now lives in Afton

with her husband Clay, daughter Mackenzie, and two beloved dogs.  They visit their daughter

Jessie and her husband Wade Poplawski as often as they can catch up with them, which

frequently involves traveling to World Cup race locations in the winter.

Further visiting with trip leaders, and signing up for trips, can occur after the presentation.   


This presentation will also be provided on zoom.
