Mansfield Nordic Club

Last week the temps hit the 70s, the sun was shining bright, and a few of the Juniors got out for a backcountry tour in the woods of Bolton for what might’ve been the last ski of 2018/2019. For now, we’ll assume any future skis will count towards 2018/2019! We started on the Nordic trails before heading up to Bryant Cabin and making a traverse of the glades and wooded hillsides over toward the alpine area. Many feet of snow meant you could ski ANYWHERE!

Congrats to MNC members Magda Lelito, Aidan Burt, Ali Priganc, and Isaac Freitas-Eagan for being named to the NENSA Development Team for 2018/2019! Based on exceptional results and qualification for Junior Nationals, this is an exciting recognition for these athletes. Special shout-out also to Quincy for her nomination too! Way to go Pugs!
