Saturday 2/15 – BK Race at Morrisville – We encourage all MNC kids to come to this one. Info at https://www.nensa.net/calendar/index.html?id=1579 Registration 9-10:30. Races start at 11:00. Skate technique.
EQUIPMENT CHECK – Classic Poles should be up to the top of the shoulder and skate poles should be up to the mouth when you are in your boots and on skis. For kids it is not a bad idea to buy slightly larger poles at the beginning of the season to account for those growth spurts.
