It’s Winter in Argentina
JUMP STARTING THE SKI SEASON
While most of us have been enjoying the summer weather a few Vermonters headed to the southern hemisphere for some skiing in Argentina. Camilla skied with MNC and Craftsbury last winter while staying with the Massey-Bierman’s. This summer she and her family invited the Massey-Biermans to spend some time in Argentina where it currently is winter. Reports of excellent skiing and wonderful people have been coming in.

MNC SPRING PICS
MNC coaches and volunteers helped organize the Flynn School Exchange Zone for the Vermont City Marathon and talked to young athletes at the Yam Scram about Nordic skiing and MNC.
Ken Bruce lead a small group on a hike up “The Chin” of Mt Mansfield. It was a beautiful sunny day with spectacular views from the Sunset Ridge Trail. There is also an active Raven’s nest on the cliff face next to Cantilever Rock.

Key Bank Vermont City Marathon – CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
MNC WLL OPERATE THE FLYNN SCHOOL RELAY EXCHANGE ZONE
- We need several volunteers to help organize the RELAY ZONE for the marathon. This is the final exchange before runners head along the bike path to the finish line. So if you are not already running in the race please email Rick at rtcostanza@gmail.com if you can help. Kids are welcome to help but we do need some adults (Seniors, Masters or BK Parents). It is expected we need about 8 volunteers to keep the exchange zone running smoothly. We can work in shifts if you cannot be there for the duration which should be 5 to 6 hours.
- Volunteering at water stop or exchange zone is a very satisfying way to be involved in Vermont’s largest sporting event of the year.
Spring Skiing At Cochran’s
4/1/14 Coach Pennie Rand lead a small but enthusiastic group up the alpine slope at Cochran’s ski area then continued up into the forest to the top of a ridge where we had a view of Came’s Hump and the village of Richmond. From the top we navigated a little tree skiing until we reached a logging road that lead us back to the top of the alpine hill for the cruise down. Warm weather and corn snow made for great afternoon and there was the added treat of Marzipan and chocolate at the top.
