MNC fund raising effort to purchase generator

The club is seeking donations to help purchase a portable generator that can be used at the wax tent for BK, Junior and Masters events. The Honda generator is capable of running wax irons allowing us to help athletes with both glide and kick waxing at important events. Parent volunteer Don Harmeyer checked out the options and selected the Honda EU200i. He has also contacted a local business that will match the best price available (approx. $1000.00) If you would like to donate please send a check to MNC C/O Rick Costanza 24 White Pine Rd, Fairfax, VT 05454. Thanks!

Juniors: Training this week 12/3 – 12/9

By Adam Terko on 2 December, 2012 in Junior Blog

This week is going to be a rodeo with crazy weather combined with the fact that they started blowing snow at the Range last week. We’ll keep our fingers crossed that we can rollerski safely and effectively. With that said, please be prepared for the possibility of having to do our workouts as running/bounding on Tuesday/Thursday.

Tuesday, 4:00 – 5:45 at the Range. Skate rollerski with high-intensity.
Thursday, 4:00 – 5:45 at the Range. Classic rollerski with high-intensity.
Sunday: location TBA. Race (Lake Placid – 5km/10km free) or time-trial (Craftsbury).

First snow report of the year

By Adam Terko on 30 November, 2012 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Craftsbury: As of Friday 11/30 at 9am: Received ~ 5″ of snow in the past 48 hours — sounds good for opening the meadow and other trails. They already have a 1.25km loop with 12″ of man-made snow in the fields.

The Range: As of Thursday 11/29/12 @ 6pm it was still snowing hard at the Range. There was approximately 3-4″ of snow on the ground. The National Guard had also begun running the snow-guns by mid-afternoon!

Smugg’s Notch Road: The picture below was taken by Jake Hollenbach on Tuesday 11/27. He skied the Stowe-side of Smuggler’s notch road both Tuesday & Wednesday and had positive reports for both skate and classic. Likely another 5-8″ as of Friday morning.
