MNC Skiathlon Recap
We had bright sun and amazing conditions for this year’s MNC Skiathlon! Racers from lollipop age to seasoned Masters all competed on Sunday in one of the club’s premier events. The day began frigid, but the clear skies and abundant sun warmed things up and the atmosphere was fun and exciting. Icy klister and fast snow were the conditions on-hand, and our racers all did great.

Thanks so much to our great events supporters: Skirack, Toko, Rossignol, and of course Craftsbury for putting together an immaculate venue as always. We also had an army of MNC volunteer making sure things ran smoothly! Whether in the timing booth, the registration table, or on the snow, our club pulled off another successful day.

MNC Members,
Skirack has learned that the Toko/Swix LF and HF waxes will not be able to ship this year 🙁
HOWEVER, they recently received an inventory of Start brand HF and LF wax. Until the end of the day today (Monday, 2/11) they are offering MNC members 30% off these waxes! Simply download the order form below, and email it to spikec@skirack.com
The order will be ready in a few days for you to pickup/pay in-store.
In addition to this special sale, Skirack will also be receiving additional Start and Vauhti brand HF and LF waxes at 15% off for MNC members!
Coach Adam recommends Start HF10 green, as well as the “BMR” (“Black Magic Racing”) line of molybdenum races, which are especially good in slushy, dirty spring snow during late February and March.
