Masters MiniCamp Success!

By on 3 December, 2018 in Masters Blog

Thanks to everyone who joined us on Saturday for our first Masters Mini Camp! It was a great day with lots of skiing in all techniques, video analysis, warm weather, and snow galore.

Coach Liam and Coach Rick got to work with a lot of skiers and, most importantly, a TON of Mansfield Nordic Masters got to spend a day on snow together!

We’re looking forward to more events like this as the season continues. The snow has us off to a great start and we can’t wait to keep the momentum going. If you’ve never taken on the challenge of a Nordic race, or if you want to get out more and ski with our group, now is the time!

BONUS: Masters Training Starts this week!

Skirack MNC Grinding Order

By on 8 November, 2018 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Calling all skiers looking for a stonegrind! If you are looking to refresh your ski bases, our friends at Skirack have offered the club a team price for a batch order of $55 per pair. Here’s how to get involved:

  1. Clean and scrape the skis you would like ground. Put skis together with tape or rubber bands, not ski ties!
  2. Clearly mark your name, and desired grind, on masking or painters tape on the skis
  3. Drop off your skis downstairs at Skirack any time before 10:00AM on Wednesday, Nov 14 and let the staff know you are part of the Mansfield Nordic Batch for Nov14
  4. Skirack will ideally have the skis turned around by Monday, Nov 19th. Skiers pay for service at time of pickup.
  5. This is the deadline for grinding batch 1, but with 10 or more pairs these batches can continue being assembled!

Find more information on Skirack’s nordic grinds HERE. After a season of testing and racing on Skirack grinds (both personal skis and the MNC wax test skis), Adam recommends the 6.7 for skiers with 1 pair of skate or classic race skis. This is a very adaptable grind for mid-range conditions that can be modified for warmer temps with hand structure!

Informational packets and grind menus can also be found at the MNC Annual Meeting.

NY Rollerski Championships

By on 5 November, 2018 in Masters Blog

The MNC Masters had another busy weekend of tearing up the road on rollerskis, as the gang headed over to the Plattsburgh area to compete in the NY State Rollerski Championships!

Led by the ever-speedy Mike “Mic Drop” Millar in 4th place, the MNC crew fought hard against the likes of NYSEF, Peru, and more. Things are looking good for the MNC Masters crew to continue their hot streak in pursuit of this year’s NENSA Club and Zak Cup points!

RESULTS

There is also some great race footage, compiled and edited by “Killa Kort” Longenbach, MNC President and the leader of this rowdy record label of hip hop nordies.
