Coming to the Range

Hello everyone!

While our Range days are limited in December (and the lack of snow makes it difficult to have a “traditional” session in the first place) we have access occasionally and I’d like to just put out information on the arrival process as a refresher.

  • If you have signed up for MNC Programming (including Range Access, not just coaching) your name will be added to our “command list” which is kept at the front gate.
  • When you drive in, you’ll need to show a photo ID to the gate guard and specify that you’re on the MNC/Mansfield Nordic Club list. For younger skiers, a school ID is fine! For the smallest skiers (elementary school) it’s likely ok to just have a parent in the car who can provide names.
  • Always remember to go the speed limit, or even better BELOW the speed limit!
  • Need specific directions to the Range itself? Check out this document below

Range Directions

 

BKL Practice 12/06 Cancelled

There will be no BKL Practice today at Mill River Park due to too much rain.  We will meet Thursday at the Range as planned.

Devos are still on for Sleepy Hollow with the Junior. Check the Junior Training Doc (link below in last post) for updates.

Suggestion: Take your dog or yourself for a little walk or run in the rain, then come home and warm up with a hot chocolate! Also a good day to bake cookies!
