Masters Skiing

By on 25 February, 2013 in Masters Blog

As we approach the end of the skis season club resources indicate that we need to cut back on coaching staff.  However, we will still be having regular T/TH ski sessions – just with more skiing and less technique coaching. With the exception of this Tuesday we will have a coach for the early Masters as we have done all season but the 6 pm slot will have 2 to 3 coaches on Tuesdays and one coach on Thursday.  This Tuesday 2/26 the Early Session Masters are welcome to join with the BK kids for a classic ski tour at Bolton Valley. 11 Am – 1 PM.

It’s now time to incorporate all the knowledge gained from the MNC coaches in your ski workouts.  Take this opportunity to ski a lot and focus on one or two things per session to improve your skiing.

Tuesday – Skate Skiing

Thursday – Your choice

 

 

 

 

Weekend Wax Recommendation

By on 22 February, 2013 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Saturday – Silver Fox Trot

BKL: Glide wax for temps in the high 20s, Swix CH8 or LF8 if you have it.

Masters/High School: CH or LF8 with some CH or LF10 mixed in

Sunday – Stowe Derby

Skate – Swix CH, LF, or HF 8

Classic – Temps will be a little warmer so glide wax with 8 mixed with some 10.  For kick wax, prep your skis with an ironed in green binder.  The kick will likely be warm hard wax (Toko Yellow, Swix Extra Violet, or a Swix VR60-70).

Toko wax tips for races this weekend are available here:

Silver Fox Trot

By on 20 February, 2013 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

A number of MNCers are headed down to the Fox Trot on Saturday – there will be races for all ages so you just might see some coaches out there racing too!

Here is a link to the event website where you will find race info, a registration link, and directions.  Online registration closes Thursday at 11 pm, there is also day or race registration, but it is more expensive. All races will be held at the Strafford Nordic Center, which is about an hour and a half from Burlington.

Hope to see you there!
