We will have BK and Masters ski practice at the range on Thursday. We may have a short section of trail to ski so bring skate skis and running shoes. Don’t forget drinking water.
BKL and Masters canceled tonight
After speaking with the head groomer at the range we have decided to cancel practice tonight. As of this morning the hill was completely ice covered and the snow they do have is bordered by a lot of mud so we would end up making quite a mess. This is disappointing but Thursday should be better and they plan on making more snow starting Friday.

We should have a small section of skiable trail this week. Please bring skate skis and running gear for a combined dryland/on snow workout.
If mother nature cooperates with some winter weather we would like to put together some MNC relay teams for the NWVE Opener relays on the 23rd in St. Albans. Details are below. Those interested please contact Rick so we can form some teams. This could be a lot of fun – combining skiing with a social outing.
