“Drive for 25” and Swix wax clinic at SkiRack

Drive for 25:

This is a fundraiser in support of the National Nordic Foundation. The NNF supports the development pipeline for nordic skiers — helping fund things like the J2 summer camps, J1 Scando Cup Trip, Junior World Championships, etc. When I led the J1 trip to Finland in 2010, the NNF gave us $20,000 of funding to defray athlete costs. Two of our MNC junior athletes were directly helped by these funds this past year (Ben Hegman and Henry Harmeyer — both as part of the J2 National Elite Group). Let’s see how much we can raise from MNC!
