Mansfield Nordic Club
Ski coaching, training and playing in the shadow of Mt Mansfield for all ages and abilities

Coach Rosemary will be on hand to help wax.
We had a really fun MNC day at Tomasi Meadow on Tuesday, with all of our various age groups represented in this beautiful mountain setting. Nestled right under Mt Mansfield and adjacent to the Mountain Road, this field is groomed by Peter Davis (thanks!) and provides about 2km of rolling trails.
We brought out the tiki torches for a little trailside light, and our BKL skiers had a great practice while some Juniors and Masters also skied around. When the sun fully set on solstice-eve, the torches continued to light a path for our Evening Masters. Everyone enjoyed skiing on hardwax with comfortable temps, and it was a great experience showcasing our big community!

Are you a parent traveling to Lake Placid for the Eastern Cup? Please consider volunteering! It takes a ton of volunteers to host a well-run Eastern Cup race and Rikert had lots of volunteers lined up. Then had to move their race to Lake Placid and many of their volunteers had to withdraw. If you are going anyways, please consider taking a shift! Contact: Britta Pirrung, britta@frostmountainnordic.org
Everyone will really appreciate your help!
The Kendall Classic race has been cancelled and will no longer happen on Sunday. Please note the following changes (or lack of changes!) to our weekend plans:
SATURDAY
Juniors: All are encouraged to race the Silver Fox Trot, the skate race which is still ON for Saturday. Registration is open until 5pm tonight (Friday) at the link below. The race begins at 10AM for the open categories: look for the MNC tent and trailer in the lower lot which will be home base.
Masters: If you’re interested in racing, the Silver Fox Trot on Saturday is a great chance to enjoy what looks to be very nice freshly-made snow on a relatively tame course.
BKL: The Silver Fox Trot was, and still is, the primary BKL event for the weekend!
SUNDAY
Juniors: We will meet at Craftsbury at 10AM for a classic ski. Meet at the trailer in the lower lot, which will stay on-site overnight. Those that have not classic skied more than 2-3x this season will get in a distance classic ski. Those with more classic under them this season will do some classic intensity…exact format TBD. Note there will be no van for this session as Adam needs to remain at Craftsbury for our Masters event.
Masters: Our group ski event is STILL ON and still happening at 1pm. Nothing has changed with regard to this ski!
BKL: Snowmaking temps may have allowed other areas such as Rikert or even Sleepy Hollow to open up some terrain, so this is a good day to take a rest if you raced Saturday, or seek out some more snow!
Hello everyone!
While our Range days are limited in December (and the lack of snow makes it difficult to have a “traditional” session in the first place) we have access occasionally and I’d like to just put out information on the arrival process as a refresher.
