MNC goes skiing October 23rd!

We were treated to some high-elevation snowfall last night and into this morning, and many MNC members had their skis on without hesitation! Reports of great early-season conditions were reported from members in Bolton, the Stowe Toll Road, and Smugglers Notch. After a beautiful fall of colors we were even treated to the incredible and rare phenomenon known as “snowliage”, a stunning mix of white snow and bright leaves!

Icing can be a real pain in this wet snow: luckily Adam was prepared with the solution

Masters Southridge 6K TT

This Sunday saw the fourth running of the Southridge Time Trail with the largest group of skiers yet.  Strong winds out of the South definitely challenged the skiers, but nonetheless strong performances and a fun time was had by all  competitors.  If you missed this round, don’t worry there will be a second running in November.

Overall, the course record still stands at 17:55 by Rick Schaaf with a full list of results on our google doc.

The course profile can be viewed on Strava.
