It was great to see so many MNC members out in force at the Trapps Race to the Cabin on Saturday! Blue skies and blue wax made for a memorable day. While results are forthcoming, it’s safe to say that our club was the biggest single group out there, and many of our racers skied strong and fast. What’s more, we had several members tackle their first races ever! This is a good sign of the season to come as MNC seeks to take on the hunt for the Zak and Club Cup trophy!

Race to the Cabin…lots of MNC participation from ALL ages!

This Saturday offers a great opportunity for some fun racing at Trapps! The Race to the Cabin, an annual favorite, is set to take place with registration at 8am and the race at 9am. Whether you decide to race hard for the glory, or simply put on a bib for a ski up the hill, the $5 registration fee is a great way to score a trail pass for even more skiing after the event!
