Mansfield Nordic Club
Ski coaching, training and playing in the shadow of Mt Mansfield for all ages and abilities
If you are racing the Eastern HS/U16 Qualifier this Sunday, please see the link below for a virtual team meeting and information. See you on Sunday!
The Pugs of EHS (also featuring Greg Burt who had a killer weekend). Psyched to see so much great racing from this hard-working group!
We’ve become quite fond of video content recently…with GoPro’s left and right these days, it is easier than ever to capture skiing in motion. In the past few weeks as racing has gotten intensely busy, others have stepped-up to capture all of the action. Below I’ll include some cool content from the past couple weeks.
First up is a vlog from our trip to Lake Placid for Eastern Cup #2. Kai produced a great vlog documenting the weekend from the “team trip” group and I think it captures a lot of the fun that happens beyond the racing itself. Although the racing is of course fast and epic!
Next, Craftsbury produced a series of quasi-documentary style videos for Eastern Cup #3 (also the UVM Carnival and Henchey Memorial Supertour). The first one features some MNC-specific content highlighting Ava’s awesome 3rd place, but you may spot other MNC racers throughout the videos. The first video from the sprint day is below, but it is a whole three-part series showcasing the top level of racing in New England…and maybe the country.

A few key notes from the Team Captains Meeting for the Craftsbury Eastern Cups this weekend.
Specifically for Saturday’s interval start races, there are VERY strict control measures on skiing the course.
Remember, you can find the latest info on Masters training (technique, location, quick summary) at the Masters Training Doc! Even despite the cold we had some great sessions last week. Here is a clip of the Black Group working on a little hop skating technique.
Coming up this week we have a bit more cold weather, but we’re prepared (and acclimated) at this point. Of note, a few of the trails across the road leading to the alpine hill (did you know there was an alpine hill at the Range?) are groomed, and can be accessed by taking a left near the bottom of Pit loop. These trails are all natural snow and there are a few sticks here and there, but otherwise great conditions. Remember that these trails do not have lights, so headlamps are needed if you are venturing after dark.
