[experienced rollerskiers only]

Race up the Whiteface Toll Road against some of the top skiers in the country! The US Ski Team will be in attendance, as well as the top-ranked national skiers, numerous junior clubs and collegiate racers!
This event takes place up a 5-mile stretch of freshly-paved road leading to the top of Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondacks…get ready for a lot of V1! This is an incredibly fun (and difficult) event that challenges all participants but, if the weather is good, offers a superb reward at the summit. Age group awards and snacks for all finishers are on-hand, as well as the chance to mingle with and get autographs from the US Ski Team.
If you’re attending…this means an early start but you can sleep on the car ride! We will depart from the Old Brick Store in Charlotte at 5:45AM on September 20th! The goal is to hit the first ferry to NY at 6AM, which should get us to the start by about 7:20 or 7:25 (race starts are 8AM for women and 8:10AM for men). We should return to Charlotte around 2-3PM.

MNC is proud to announce a summer training camp opportunity in collaboration with the Hudson United Racing Team! “HURT” Camp is a long-running and popular summer training camp for skiers from across New York, and this year Mansfield Nordic is looking to add skiers from the Green Mountains to the mix!
The goal of this camp is “to bring High School aged athletes across the region together to improve the level of nordic racing in the winter.” Though some rollerski experience is needed, athletes at this camp range in ability from skiers new to the sport looking to move up the high school ranks to athletes who have been in the top 10 at Junior Nationals and the J2/Eastern High School Championships.
Coach Terko will join top coaches Dave Paarlberg-Kvaam (HURT Nordic coach), Callie Duglass (Colchester/VT Eastern High School Champs trip leader) and Bob Underwood (Queensbury High School coach) in leading rollerski sessions, trail runs, strength workouts and even an uphill mountain timetrial!
For MNC juniors attending this camp, coach Adam will have a van rented and will depart from the Shelburne United Methodist Church parking lot at 9AM on Saturday, July 18th.
For more detailed information and registration documents, please visit the HURT Nordic website and camp info page: HURT Camp 2015
Camp registration includes all lodging, travel, food and coaching costs.

1st Annual(?) Reverse Stowe Derby
2015-07-11 08:30 - 12:00 | Stow Community Church, 137 Main St, Stowe, 05672, United States
Saturday will be the first (annual?) Reverse Stowe Derby! This is a joint workout with Craftsbury and VTXC. We will be joined by Craftsbury coach Anna Schultz (hey, she sounds familiar!) and Rick Costanza (hey, he sounds familiar!) for a skate rollerski from downtown Stowe up the bike path to the base of the Toll Rd. From there we will switch to running gear en route to the top of Mt Mansfield! On the run down we can jump in the Bingham Falls swimming hole before a picnic along the park-side bike path!
Any MNC summer participants (both 2- and 5-day members), BKL skiers and Masters are welcome and encouraged to join in – for those that have not rollerskied yet there will be a ‘hike-only’ group. The plan right now is to gather at the Stowe Community Church at 8:30am for rollerski group, and the base of the Toll Rd at 9:30am for the hike-only group. We hope participants can bring a dish to share at the picnic afterward!
The Reverse Stowe Derby caps off 2 volume weeks in a row, a big push for great summer training!

First Day Junior Summer Training
2015-06-16 08:00 - 10:00 | Ethan Allen Training Facility, 113 Ethan Allen Rd., Jericho, VT, 05465, United States
For many years the Mansfield Nordic summer programs have been the bread-and-butter of the club. This summer our options for great training are similar to the programs of years past, with scheduling and pricing much the same. In addition, a limited amount of roller ski rentals are available.
The 2-day/week Intro program will be focused on athletes new to rollerskiing, with sessions at the car-free paved loop at the Ethan Allen Firing Range. Athletes in this program will develop skills like balance, agility and safe handling of rollerskis, and have the opportunity to work with experienced coaches. Practices will not be entirely rollerski focused, however, and there will be ample opportunity to also train alongside Comp Team athletes and take part in runs, drills, games and strength-building.
The 5-day/week Comp program will be focused on high-level training for more experienced rollerskiers and athletes with strong training backgrounds. Workouts will take place alongside the Intro team at the Range on Tues/Thurs, and across Chittenden County and beyond during other days. This group will build a strong fitness base through intervals, long-distance workouts, strength sessions and cross-training opportunities.
For experienced rollerskiers, we have also connected with the Ethan Allen Biathlon club to have Range access on Tues/Thurs afternoons as well as mornings to accommodate skiers with work or travel constraints (note that coach Terko will likely be the only coach at these sessions, therefore it is limited to experienced rollerskiers pending further coaching additions!).

1st Day of Spring Training
2015-04-14 16:00 - 17:30
Welcome to Mansfield Nordic’s Spring Training season!
The sweat-soaked, mud-caked, bug-infested days of summer may be the heart of the off-season training in the ski world, but spring is an critical transition time for fitness and prep for the year ahead!
For these upcoming weeks we will be looking to get used to challenging our muscles in a dryland environment as (if?) the snow melts, and preparing for the increased work and intensity of summer. Sessions will be a mix of running, biking, strength work and games…plus a hearty dose of some bigger, larger adventures around the area!
Structure:
Training is open to all Junior-level skiers (U16, U18, U20) as well as rising Freshmen headed into High School.
Tuesday (4PM) / Thursday (4PM) / Saturday (10AM unless otherwise specified). Locations in and around Chittenden County to be determined prior to each week.
Training will be posted on the Junior Team google doc, as well as updated (and recapped) weekly on the Junior Team blog.
For more details see our Spring Training page.
