We will be playing lots of ski games this week so bring some old beater skis if you have them. We still need a parent or two to pick up the Pizzas on TH while the kids are skiing and we’d like to get them from the Underhill General Store which is owned and operated by MNC skier and guest coach Peter Davis. Please contact Rick at 370-5686 if you can pick up the Pizzas. Thanks.
NWVT and MNC have multiple podium finishes at the 2015 BK Festival. Results are posted on the NENSA website at https://www.nensa.net/ and some pics at http://www.bigshotphotovt.com. Parents with pics can send us a link to wherever you post them or send your best shots to us so MNC can post them. Thanks to all the families that participated in this wonderful event and making it a tremendous success as well as a darn-good time! MNC Kids are the BEST!!!
This week – (Masters info posted below)
BK will skate both Tuesday and Thursday. Partially because it’s going to get warm and it may take me a few days to reorganize the wax kit after the weekend. On Thursday we will celebrate our “official” last day of ski practice with a pizza party in the Walker Building after skiing. We say unofficial because we will continue to ski to the end of the month if possible but we know that soon the spring sports at school will stat up and kids won’t be able to make it on T/TH. Don’t forget about the end of the year MNC ski party at Craftsbury on March 29th. Details will be in the MNC Weekly Email.
- Please let email Coach Rick if you will be there on TH so we know how much pizza to order
- Bring $2/kid to help pay for the pizza
- Pizza’s will be ordered and (pre-paid)from Mtn High Pizza in Jericho and we need a parent to pick them up while the kids are skiing. Please contact Rick if you can make the pizza run. If you can bring something for the kids to drink that would be great too.
This weekend OPTIONS:
BK ages 10-14 Grand Prix at Rikert https://www.nensa.net/calendar/index.php?id=1706 OR
for all ages Cochran’s Nordic Cross http://www.cochranskiarea.com/events-programs/events/60-cochran-s-nordic-x-challenge
Please email Coach Rick if you are going to either of these so we can determine which (or both) we can offer coaching support.
Looking Ahead – NYSEF Nordic Kids Festival in Lake Placid -March 21-22. More info will be posted but check your calendar. This is a fun low key event for kids held at the Ski Jumps.
Masters
Pick Your technique Week! As we near the end of the season we will back-off a little on how much technique coaching we have been doing and enjoy some social ski time along with an interval workout for those that want to join in.
Thursday – Something different – Masters Time Trial! We will pick a short course (around 3 km) and you ski it for time. We can post times or if you bribe the coaches we will keep it a secret.
Weekend – for those of you that feel like bringing out your inner kid….. head to Cochrans for the Nordic Cross Race. Be prepared to have fun, fall and absolutely not be serious!
