MNC’s own Ava Thurston will be skiing in her first world cup in the Skate Sprint and Coach Adam will be there making sure she has the fastest skis he can produce! If you watch the Sprint Qualifier, you might see her!

OUTSIDE Watch is supposed to stream the events live for free. Go this website to watch: Outside Live.

Juniors Team Dinner @ Eastern Cup 4

By on 14 February, 2024 in Junior Blog

MNC is having a team dinner to celebrate the final Eastern Cup races of the season!

We have a whole restaurant space to ourselves at Lucky Dog Tavern in Plymouth, NH (right near Holderness). This space includes tables, space for some team activities and talks, and a pool table we can use.

Catered meal for the evening

Chicken Parmesan

Cavatappi Pasta w/red sauce

Caesar Salad

Rolls

Water + pink lemonade

Note that we have this entire space rented, so while there are not GF/Vegan-specific options available, skiers with dietary restrictions may bring some of their own food to enjoy.

 

We’d love to have as many parents and athletes join us as possible, even if you are not racing on Sunday. The awards for Saturday’s sprint races are at 5:15PM, and this meal begins at 6:30PM.

Cost is $25 per person, which includes the meal as well as space rental.

All our coaches will be present, and we will have some games and activities in addition to dinner. Things will wrap up by 8:30 or earlier.
