Masters on snow!

It may have involved some icy trips under the snow guns, but this week the MNC Masters groups got on snow and many had their first skate ski sessions of the year. A particularly memorable evening was Thursday which featured frigid temps mixed with blazing snow guns. After a tough interval workout Mike, Steve, Kort, Liam and I ventured out to a different loop which was getting snow made on it…needless to say, the snow guns hit us pretty hard:

Snowy and icy: how tough skiers are made!

We were also able to take advantage of our new Saturday Range access to get some daylight skiing in on Saturday! While we cannot always guarantee access to the Walker Building on these days, the trails will be open to MNC Members who have signed up for either coached training or general Range access.  In order to ensure we comply with Range regulations , we will be asking for people to sign-in for these sessions.  So look for the sign-up sheet / clip board at the top of the 1k loop.

Be sure to stay on top of this week’s skiing on the MNC Masters Doc – looking forward to some more snow time before the holidays!

Range Skiing Saturday 12/17

Just a reminder, this Saturday we will have our first Saturday Range access of the season for all MNC skiers enrolled in one of our BKL 3-Day, Junior and Masters Training or Range Access programs. The time slot is 10AM-Noon with Coach Christa on hand to provide oversight and tips to those who ask.

If you haven’t signed up there is still time to do so at Join MNC.

Masters Racing: An early look

Winter is here, and ski races will be popping up on calendars left and right sooner rather than later. With points at stake for the Zak Cup and Club Cup, we’re looking to bring MNC into the top of the rankings!

Masters racing in action...fun and challenging!

Masters racing in action…fast and fun!

There are several ways to get involved and keep up with plans for MNC Masters racing. To learn more about how the Club and Zak Cups work, please see this article. For more straight from NENSA, see this article.

The MNC Masters Google Doc contains a bottom tab that shows a list of Masters races in New England. Events highlighted in green are “target events” where we’d love to have a big club presence! The MNC Masters team also has a new tent, which means we’ll be easy to find for wax support, a pre-race chat, or a post-race recap.

It’s time to enjoy the snow and get out to some races!

Race to the Cabin at Trapps 1/7/17

The first race that we are highly encouraging all masters to do is the Race to the Cabin at Trapps.  It is super low-key.  Anyone who can make it up to the cabin should do this race.  Last year, they charged $5 to enter which got you a trail pass for the day… and they took your clothes up to top.  It’s such a fun, low publicized event perfect for all ages.

To get your name on the Masters Racing email list, please contact Karen at kalence@comcast.net.  We will be sharing race info including weather updates, carpooling requests, who is planning on attending, where we could meet as a group before and after races, along with waxing help.

MNC “Remind” App: This year’s edition

Hello all MNC members and families,

For the second year, we will be utilizing the “Remind” app system for members interested in up-to-the-minute news on snow conditions, weather warnings, and practice cancellations. Our webpage blogs and Google Docs (Juniors and Masters) will still be primary avenues for communication, but for those interested in utilizing Remind services our coaches will make an effort to convey info here as well.

What is Remind?
