Mansfield Nordic Club
Ski coaching, training and playing in the shadow of Mt Mansfield for all ages and abilities
Despite the spring like weather, enough snow has stayed on the trails to have ski practice on Tuesday and Thursday.

We will be classic skiing on Thursday at the range. Lots of new snow!!!
Reminder – please drive slowly on the National Guard roads and Ethan Allen Road. Be especially careful driving down the hill from the range – the bottom corner can get slick.
BK Racing and Masters – We will kick off the new year with a ski at Trapps instead of the range to take advantage of the holiday and lots of new snow.
11:00 AM – 12:00 noon: BK classic ski with Rick and Andy. Masters that want some coaching meet with Christa and Leigh.
12:30 until sometime in the afternoon BK, Parents and Masters – a social ski with mixed groups for tour of the trails. Choice of technique.
We do not have a full complement of coaches so Jackrabbits are welcome to come along for the tour but parents will have to help out so everyone is accounted for. Some groups will be moving faster then others.
Classic Waxing – Try to dial in your classic wax before you arrive to speed up the process. We will help you upon arrival but we’d like to be skiing by 11 AM so come a few minutes early to get a trail pass and check wax. It should be a nice hardwax day.
We will have BK and Masters ski practice at the range on Thursday. We may have a short section of trail to ski so bring skate skis and running shoes. Don’t forget drinking water.
After speaking with the head groomer at the range we have decided to cancel practice tonight. As of this morning the hill was completely ice covered and the snow they do have is bordered by a lot of mud so we would end up making quite a mess. This is disappointing but Thursday should be better and they plan on making more snow starting Friday.
