For Thursday, there is no skiable snow at the Range. We have lots of fun dryland activities planned, so kids should wear running sneakers. Kids should meet coaches inside the Walker Building at 3:45. Parent Meeting will be inside the Walker Building from 5 to 5:30 (kids will be outside playing games with the Juniors).

MNC Annual Meeting
Thank you to everyone who came out to the MNC Annual Meeting last night! We had many great moments and experiences to look back on, and the great turnout and positive energy showed that our club is ready for a great winter ahead. Some of the events of the evening included:
- Rental and distribution of Friday Fox ski equipment with Dan
- A fun “hash run” at Mills Riverside park, organized by Jim and JoAnn. Lots of twists and turns, and it’s safe to say everyone got some solid distance covered!
- A delicious potluck meal with dishes from all of our members
- Speeches and discussions from Kort and Adam on the club’s past, present, and future [Presentation Link]
- A discussion from special guest Patrick Weaver on his time as a US Ski Team athlete and Olympian, as well as his take on skiing in college. [Presentation Link]
- A raffle and silent auction featuring gear and goodies from Toko, Mammut, and Bobo’s Oat Bars.
Here are a couple of photos. There are surely more to come, so as they arrive please check the MNC Flickr album for more! Special thanks to big organizers like Sharon Henry and Jim Fredericks for helping to craft this awesome event.
