All,

The warm spring weather is here and we are gearing up for another great season of rollerskiing. Some love it, some hate it, but everyone agrees that it is a darn good way to ski your best come winter!

There are a number of skis that were rented last summer, many of which are still floating around the MNC community. Before our summer training programs start we’d like to get a handle on all of the pairs in order to take inventory and possibly make some improvements (new wheels where needed, for example).

If you have a pair of MNC rollerskis in your garage, closet, wax room or car, please contact coach Adam to work out a time/place to meet and return them for inventory.

Even better, if you have a pair (or even spare parts) that you would like to donate to the club, please also let me know!

Thanks…we will be hitting the pavement soon!
