MNC Skiathlon Wax Tip

The MNC Skiathlon is coming up on Saturday! You can register on SkiReg any time before 5pm Friday at the link below, or do a day-of registration (for increased fees).

MNC Skiathlon Registration

Although we’ve enjoyed a nice stretch of “winter” temps and weather lately, it seems as if that will all come crashing down this weekend with warm weather and some rain.

If nothing else, this makes waxing pretty straightforward…we’re recommending a layer of blue glide first, to harden the bases and prevent dirt accumulation. Then, unsurprisingly, a layer of the yellow glidewax of your choice.

MNC waxing squad (Rosemary and Adam) will be on-site to help with waxing, such as an additional liquid glide layer and structure patterns.

If you can put on a *thin* klister binder that would be great for the classic leg, however we will also have a roller on-site for binder as well as race klister.

Masters Ski at Trapps

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 6 February, 2024 in Masters Blog

MNC Masters met at Trapps this past Sunday. We were greeted with a spectacular blue ski, no wind, clear and dry day. The group was equally balanced in numbers with skaters and classic skiers and broke off into two groups. It turned out that both groups had the same thing in mind- We passed and met up with each other in various spots. One group was headed down the Haul Road from the Cabin and the other coming up. After that, time was spent on the race course and various other lower trails. We even met up with MNC guest coaches Pennie and Leigh and sang Pennie ‘Happy Birthday’ in front of the yurt. Some of the group needed to leave around noon to tend to animals and children at home. Those with less commitments that day, enjoyed lunch at the Kaffeehaus together. A great ski on a beautiful bluebird day!

Masters’ Olympic Games Day

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 5 February, 2024 in Masters Blog

Last Tuesday, Masters afternoon and evening skiers tapped into their “inner child” and had an Olympic Games Day in honor of the Youth Olympics being held in South Korea. After forming teams and coming up with a team country and cheer, the teams competed in a cone shuttle relay, speedball and relay towing. Lots of fun for all and photos are below!
