Terrific Tomasi

Tomasi Meadow is skiing GREAT right now! We’ve had a long stretch of cold weather and the snow is sticking around. We never know how long that’ll last in New England, so there’s never been a better time to get out and ski.

If you haven’t been to Tomasi Meadow yet, give it a look! This is a beautiful stretch of conserved land in Underhill, right in the shadow of Mt Mansfield, that our club manages and grooms with the help of Peter Davis.

Skiing is FREE at Tomasi Meadow, and we hope many members of the broader ski community (not just MNC) can enjoy cross country skiing in this wonderful place. Our BKL and Afternoon Masters programs have been making great use of the trails, and on Monday some of our coaches joined a group from the Burlington Parks, Recreation and Waterfront (BPRW) who took a field trip out to ski on a sunny day.

You can always check Peter’s latest grooming report on the snow conditions page, which is also linked right at the bottom of the  MNC homepage.

Here’s some photos from Monday, where we experienced bright blue skies and fresh tracks:

Signage and notes regarding trail use. Thanks for abiding!

If you’ve enjoyed Tomasi Meadow this winter, let others know about it! Share some photos online, tell a friend or family member to check out the trails, or let folks know about the skiing on places like Front Porch Forum. If you’d like to donate to the trails (specifically snow machine fuel and wear-and-tear costs to keep things running) use our Donation Page and mark “Tomasi” in the comments. Thanks!

Masters First Week: Dryland, Strength, Skating & Racing

Masters Classic Warm-up

Masters’ Practices kicked off this past Tuesday with a fun classic warm-up and a hill bounding session. On Thursday, we time-shared the limited snow loop with BKL & Juniors and warmed up our no-pole skating, balance & V1 and then spent half the practice doing strength indoors. Some of our Masters kicked off their racing season too by skiing in the Kendall Memorial Skate Race on Sunday at Craftsbury. Congratulations to Steve Crafts, Daniel Schmidt and Sara Katz for getting out there and skiing hard on that very hilly North Course!
