Masters Waxing Party!

By on 24 April, 2017 in Masters Blog

Please join the MNC Masters for an end of the season summer wax prep party on Saturday April 29, 2017.  Hosted by Jen and Bill Supple at  103 Westall Drive, Richmond.  Please RSVP at jssupple@gmail.com to help get a sense of who will be attending. Thanks!

There will be irons, benches, and electricity available but please feel free to bring your own bench and iron, scrapers, brushes and other tools you like to use, if you have them and can share. Please supply your own summer wax (yellow non-fluoro) or other of your choosing.

We will also be brainstorming summer activities and events for masters continued training and exercise. The coaches want to know what we are interested in pursuing! Let’s take advantage of their enthusiasm to keep us in shape over the summer!

There will be snacks and drinks for the afternoon session followed by light dinner at Stone Corral when everyone is ready at, or before, 6 pm!

Hope you can make it!  We will assume great spring, sunny, driveway-gathering weather, but will take it into the garage if need be…

Tim Cobb invited to National U16 Camp

By on 21 April, 2017 in Junior Blog

After a successful race season, MNC skier Tim Cobb was invited to the National U16 Camp by NENSA based on his results at Junior Nationals.

Held this year in Sun Valley, Idaho, the National U16 Camp is an important step in the USSA XC Development Pipeline en route to National and International success.

Due to conflicting schedules with several Biathlon training camps, Tim will be unable to attend this year’s camp but will partake in another important step in the pipeline at the June NENSA Regional Elite Group camp.

Congratulations Tim!

 

Junior Spring Training begins!

Tomorrow is the first day of Junior Spring programming. If you haven’t signed up, please check the updated registration forms. We’re looking to kick things off with some skate skiing at Bolton…not too often you get to start off the season with some snow time!

Spring ski training is a GO!

Bolton Sunset Summit

By on 14 April, 2017 in Junior Blog, Masters Blog

On Thursday afternoon some MNC Masters, Juniors, and guests brought skis to climb Bolton to catch a beautiful sunset from the top of the appropriately-named Vista quad before a nice fast descent. Plenty of late-season snow and warm temps made for a fun spring outing!

Thanks for an amazing season!

This Saturday, MNC held our annual end-of-season party to celebrate a great 2016/2017. No manmade snow was required to make for a great day of skiing, as another late-season storm brought a few fresh inches of snow to an already-snowy Vermont! It served as a good metaphor, to say the least: no matter how great our seasons are, Mansfield Nordic can always look for more!

Thank you so much to EVERYONE involved with MNC at any level: skiers, parents, volunteers, coaches, board members, the Range groomers, the National Guard, our great sponsors (Toko, Bobo’s, Skirack, Rossignol, Rudy Project, Dee PT) and all of the great skiers and community members that make our sport such a joy!

At our event, we also said a very special thanks to Sharon Henry and Gary Solow, who have contributed unimaginable amounts of their own time and energy to help organize events, capture photos, rally volunteers, and handle all manner of gatherings. Many, many thanks Sharon and Gary!

Karen gave a very nice speech recognizing all that Sharon and Gary have done for MNC!
