Bill Demong rollerskiing with Matt Lauer

By Adam Terko on 30 October, 2013 in BKL Race Blog, Coaches’ Education, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Check out 4 time Olympian Billy Demong (USA Nordic Combined) rollerskii with NBC’s Matt Lauer in New York City. Billy comes from the little town of Vermontville just north of Saranac Lake, NY and recently won another National Championship title as he prepares for what will likely be his last Olympic games.

MNC/TOKO Hands-on Wax Clinic 11/18

By Adam Terko on 29 October, 2013 in BKL Race Blog, Coaches’ Education, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

On Nov 18th 3:30 PM – 7:00 PM MNC skier and long time TOKO rep Dave Boucher will join forces with MNC coaches to lead a wax clinic and answer your base prep questions. We are tentatively scheduled to do this in the Walker Building at the range and are just awaiting approval from the National Guard. Please check the blog for updates.

Dave will do a brief demonstration on the basic techniques of base prep, glide waxing, and kick waxing at 3:45 and then again at 6:00. We will have benches set up so you can bring a pair of skis to prepare them for early season skiing. You must bring your own wax. We will have some irons, scrapers and brushes but if you have your own it would help. Be sure to put your name on anything you bring. Some coaches will be available to help and answer questions too.

Support US Skiing!

By Adam Terko on 28 October, 2013 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

I am writing to ask for your help in supporting the National Nordic Foundation. Long under-funded, US nordic skiers are now being supported by a grassroots organization helping support athlete development at all levels.

Consider donating under the links below for Bill and Henry Harmeyer and there is a chance your donation could be more than quadrupled!!! Junior skiers across the country are trying to raise $15,000. If they are able to raise the $15,000 an anonymous donor will give a matching $50,000! This kind of support will go a long way and we only have a few weeks left.

Please take a minute to check out their donation pages and watch the movie they produced supporting the NNF on Bill’s page.

Nordic skiing has never been stronger in the US and organizations like the NNF are helping produce fantastic roll models for American youth and a healthy lifestyle.

And thank you very much! Any amount counts toward the goal. If you can make a donation via your business or pass it on to those you know.
