Club Relay Championships: Time to TEAM UP!

If you an MNC member looking for a team please notify us by 3/22.

MNC members of all ages: it’s time to cap off the season with some spring racing and a challenge to score lots of points for the Club Cup…this Saturday is the inaugural New England Club Relay Championships hosted by MNC!

Teams of 4 will compete in a relay consisting of 2 classic legs and 2 freestyle legs. This is a race for everyone: teams can be mixed in gender, all ages, and all abilities. With the recent snow from snowstorm Stella and the impeccable work of the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, you can expect great conditions and a fun time!

For all information (from team signups to volunteering to forming a group to race with) please see THIS LINK

We hope to see as many MNC skiers as possible at this event, and at the Spring Fling the next day! Also, for aspiring female biathletes there will be a Girls with Guns event hosted by members of the US Biathlon Team!

Update 3/13– Because of the predicted blizzard of Tuesday/Wed., we are moving our End-of-Season awards to Thursday. We will still practice on Tuesday for everyone who can make it. We will still Skate on Tuesday and Classic on Thursday.

This week marks the official end to our program, however, we will keep skiing through March, as long as the snow holds out. We realize that some kids are starting other sports, but for kids who still want to ski, we’ll keep posting practice on the blog through March.

Tuesday 3/14: Skate Technique. Game Day

Thursday 3/15: Classic Technique. Don’t forget to take any klister off your skis because we’ll be using hardwax!

2) Parents should bring snacks.

3) I will also have program surveys for parents to fill out. Please help us improve our program by filling out a survey!
