Rollerski Order 2018 (Due 4/22!)

See below for models and prices

Swenor Skate (Aluminum)

MNC/Skirack Price: $207

This is the suggested model for MNC Juniors and rising BKL skiers. The aluminum frame is not only lightweight but also durable and resistant to breakage. Although some road vibration is normal with this model, the benefits (weight, longevity, ease of handling) generally outweigh the negatives of some road vibration.

Swenor Skate Elite (Composite shaft)

MNC/Skirack Price: $277

This is the model to look for if you are concerned about road vibration and are looking for a plush ride. The shaft has a bit of flex like a real ski, although the heavier weight of this rollerski means it is a bit less maneuverable and poor choice for smaller and/or younger skiers. The composite shaft is also prone to breaking if skied aggressively or not maintained/cleaned regularly after skiing in rain or mud..

Tristar Classic (Limited inventory)

MNC/Skirack Price: $199

This model is ideal for smaller and younger rollerskiers (115lb or less) looking to get into classic rollerskiing. This model is super light and easy to handle which is crucial for a first-ever pair of classic rollerskis.

Fibreglass Cap Classic (Composite shaft)

MNC/Skirack Price: $277

The choice for Juniors and experienced rollerskiers. Slightly heavier than your average classic rollerski, but with large wheels and a smooth-rolling composite body. Please order this model with a #2/#3 wheel speed mix if you are an MNC Junior.

Club Champ Relays

By on 26 March, 2018 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Fantastic weather, an Olympic-caliber morning event, and a positive and supportive atmosphere led to a great day at the New England Club Championship Relay. Skiers started out with two classic legs, followed by two freestyle legs. Having teams of all ages, men and women, and Masters and BKL skiers all in the same race was a great scene…teams changed position as different skiers took their turn, which kept the excitement high the whole way.

Recently-finished Supertour races featuring the likes of Jessie Diggins, Kikkan Randall, and Simi Hamilton meant that the crowds were larger than your average Club race…so things were more World Cup Status than normal!

Thanks to some great supporters of the event: Toko, SunCommon, Skirack, and the great folks at Craftsbury!

Results can be found on the Bullitt Timing website

NE Club Relays Wax Recommendation

By on 22 March, 2018 in Masters Blog

It’s looking like a great weekend for ski racing up in Craftsbury! For this year’s New England Club Relay Championships, here is a brief wax recommendation for both skate and classic skiers.

Glide: Whether you are skiing a classic or skate leg, prep your glide zones by beginning with a layer of Blue or Green glidewax. Scrape and brush this layer, and then apply Toko HF Red, Swix HF8, or another mid-warm range HF or LF of your choice. Scrape and brush before the race on Sunday!

Kick: Depending on how much the snowpack thaws and re-freezes between now (Thurs) and Sunday we could be racing on klister. It’s best to prep kick zones by ensuring they are totally clean and non-sticky. Then, wrap some 100 grit sandpaper around a cork or other flat surface and lightly abrade the kicking area.

Plan to arrive with your array of kickwax and klister, and the MNC wax boxes and coaches will be on-hand to supplement and provide support!
