Ski swappin’

By on 27 October, 2015 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog, Uncategorized

It is ski swap season…in fact, a few have already passed us by! Finding some real gems at a local ski swap is one of the joys of the sport…

If you were not aware, MNC has it’s own “Gear Swap” page…check it out HERE! You can find this page at the very top of the MNC homeage.

The club is happy to work with individuals who have gear they are looking to sell, and equally happy to help set up skiers with the right used equipment. If you are interested in donating or selling gear, please contact Karen at kalence@comcast.net.

As the weather turns cold, also be sure to check out local ski swaps, many of which are fundraisers for schools or local ski clubs and programs just like MNC! A listing can be found on the Ski Maven website by clicking HERE.

MNC Membership

This season, Mansfield Nordic is introducing and promoting a MNC Club Membership. MNC wanted to create a means to enable all club participants and supporters, including those who don’t participate in training programs, to both support our mission and share in the benefits that our club offers. We have a number of great incentives for membership and are continually working to develop new partnerships for even greater rewards! This membership also involves a fee structure, which addresses the increasing insurance costs and overhead associated with our programs and the hiring of a full time Executive Director/Head Coach.

To offset this fee, we will no longer require all of our members to purchase a NENSA membership.  In addition to club discounts and promotions, all club members will also have access to special MNC events, activities and celebrations throughout the year.

Once they have joined, club members will be provided with an official MNC Membership number that allows them to enroll in our training programs and take advantage of club benefits.

For more information and to sign up, please see the MNC Membership page on our website.
