Seeking housing for guest athlete in July!

By Adam Terko on 22 April, 2022 in Uncategorized

Calling all MNC families and skiers!

EMXC (Eastern Mass XC) athlete Isabella Synnestvedt is interested in training with the club for a stint this July, and would be looking for a place to stay. Depending on some training camp schedules, the date range would be around July 4/7ish until July 20th or so.

Great opportunity to support a kind and hardworking skier from another club! As a bonus, there might be some carpool help for any parents looking to save themselves some shuttling to/from MNC training sessions 🙂

Isabella can be reached at issirsynn@gmail.com

Isabella is gluten-free, so please note that in your considerations

MNC apparel: shorts and sweatshirts!

Get ready for the summer with MNC spandex shorts and sweatshirts! From warm rollerski sessions to chilly nights, you’ll be covered and ready to represent.

Spandex shorts come in men’s and women’s cuts, and were designed by Michael G a few years ago. They’re now back on order by popular demand.

Sweatshirts are a slim-fit hoodie in an athletic fabric that makes them the perfect after-workout clothing item.

You can order both items through the MNC Podiumwear Storefront at the link below. Orders are due May 10!

Fasterskier’s “Letters to My Younger Self: Murray Banks”

By Adam Terko on 11 April, 2022 in Uncategorized

Many of you may know Murray as one of the primary founders of MNC. You may know him as a coach for our club’s Masters, Juniors, and BKL skiers alike. From back when MNC was a group of adult friends in the winter, a summer Junior program, or a weekly BKL program on snow in Underhill, to 2022 when we’re a year-round club for all ages.

A few years ago Murray moved to Crested Butte, Colorado full-time. He recently contributed a great piece of writing to Fasterskier, which you can read below!

Juniors,

Below is a link to the Athlete Reflection Form, with questions we’ve visited over the past few seasons. Take a moment to fill this out, and if you’d like to schedule a meeting to discuss the past season, the season ahead, goals, plans, and targets, April is a great month for it!

Meetings ideally take place at the library or any shop where coffee can be consumed. Shoot Adam an email and we can work out a time/place. If you’d like your own goal pyramid template to print out before a meeting, you can find that link here.

As shared in some other posts and resources (like the Junior Training Doc), there is a lot of info out there about what to be working toward this time of year. Those posts and pages are also linked below for your convenience:
