It’s Winter in Argentina

JUMP STARTING THE SKI SEASON

While most of us have been enjoying the summer weather a few Vermonters headed to the southern hemisphere for some skiing in Argentina. Camilla skied with MNC and Craftsbury last winter while staying with the Massey-Bierman’s. This summer she and her family invited the Massey-Biermans to spend some time in Argentina where it currently is winter. Reports of excellent skiing and wonderful people have been coming in.

Sisters Marika and Quincy set up for quick turn during a race

Quincy skiing hard….as always!

The girls tear it up during the classic portion of the pursuit race.

Notice Camila’s excellent classic form!

MNC coaches and volunteers helped organize the Flynn School Exchange Zone for the Vermont City Marathon and talked to young athletes at the Yam Scram about Nordic skiing and MNC.

Ken Bruce lead a small group on a hike up “The Chin” of Mt Mansfield. It was a beautiful sunny day with spectacular views from the Sunset Ridge Trail. There is also an active Raven’s nest on the cliff face next to Cantilever Rock.
