Small Victories (seeking submissions!)

It has been quite a year. 12 months ago Junior Nationals was cancelled mid-event. Our end-of-season MNC Relays were called-off, and spring activities became very isolated affairs.

We’ve made it through a full ski season with COVID among us, and despite so many challenge, lots of great things have happened within our sport both broadly and locally in 2020/2021.

We wanted to solicit YOUR input in sharing some of your “small victories” of the season. This is not just about results: we all have been through a great deal and we hope that many have been able to see and feel and experience some great “victories” in all types of ways.

If you’d like to share a victory, either anonymously or with your name attached, you can check out the form below. We’ll accept submissions for a bit, and then compile into a blog post to share!

Hard’Ack Challenge

Masters and Juniors had a great time at the Hard’Ack Challenge race this past Sunday! It was a treat to get in some true spring skiing…racing in a T-shirt but still plenty of nicely groomed snow to go around. Thanks to Tyler Magnan and all the other volunteers who made it a great experience.

After the races we had a blast hitting up the local rope tow which operates adjacent to the Nordic trails on a small hill used for sledding, skiing, and snowboarding. It wasn’t just the MNC Juniors who were getting in on the action…the Enman and Tremble families were up on the slope with the dads rocking some smooth tele turns and the kids screaming downhill at unbelievable speed!

After some jumps and “nor-pine” skiing, a couple of us ordered a pizza from the parking lot, drove into town to pick it up, and enjoyed the pizza outside in the town park while it was still sunny and warm. Those after-race and after-training experiences where we all get to hang out as a group removed from skiing specifically are so special and they have been so infrequent in a season such as this…so it felt great to enjoy it and envision an upcoming year where we might be able to get back to more of those moments.

Here’s a short video of the rope tow action. No technique review footage from the race, only fun downhill ski footage on this occasion:
