Big racing weekend!

By Adam Terko on 21 January, 2020 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Three big races, with MNC at all three!

Saturday was the Silver Fox Trot, and while this race was not counted for Club Clup/Zak Cup points that didn’t stop a lot of MNC folks from taking part. We had competitors in the BKL races in the morning, followed by some Juniors and a LOT of Masters racing in the main event. Here’s some video footage from the BKL and open races:

Sunday was the Race for Snow down in Boston. Believe it or not, they got some snow! Despite the southern locale, Dave Charlie and Karen all raced for MNC and scored some points in the coveted Club Cup.

Dave in the hunt!

On Sunday, we had one of the biggest group efforts I’ve ever seen at the Geschmossel. It was a gorgeous day, with the wind holding off and Mt Washington towering over the landscape in all its splendor. We had a big crew ride down in the van, and met up with even more Masters on site. Easy waxing (green!) and a gentle course made for a fun time.

The start line, lots of MNC kits in there…

Cross Country Skiing in the Sud Tirol

By Kort Longenbach on 17 January, 2020 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog, Uncategorized

Interested in cross country skiing in Europe? Recently, we returned from a spectacular trip and wanted to share our experiences and express our thanks to Lumi Experiences. Lumi Experiences specializes in both self-guided and guided experiences to some of the world’s renown cross country destinations.

Lumi was founded by Garrott Kuzzy (Olympian, former US Ski team and former MNC Coach/BOD member). We worked with Garrott to design a self-guided 10-day cross country skiing vacation in Seefeld, Austria, and Seiser Alm, Italy. Aside from flights, Lumi took care of everything, including: lodging, ground transportation, passes and personalized daily trail recommendations. Lumi’s local knowledge and attention to detail made this an incredibly enjoyable and memorable experience. A vacation we will cherish for a long time!

By Kort Longenbach on 16 January, 2020 in Masters Blog

We have had to reschedule our planned Masters mini-clinic this weekend, but snow is on the way and our coaches are encouraging masters to sign up for the Silver Fox Trot at Rikert https://www.skireg.com/silver-fox-trot. We can all enjoy a nice skate race and coaches will try to get some video clips of each skier during the race.

Hope to see you there!
