What a day for a ski race! Sun, blue skies, firm tracks and great competition…can’t ask for more. 146 competitors took to the trails at Craftsbury for this annual MNC event that has continued to grow! Check out the video edit below:

I (Adam) was waxing skis and running back and forth to the start area during the BKL races but was able to get a thorough amount of cheering in for the latter races of the day. Many MNC racers topped their respective age groups and, most importantly, everyone had a great time skiing their hearts out!
