Even though the traditional MNC season has ended and many of our younger skiers (both BKL and Junior) are doing spring sports, the snow has stuck around. We’ve been getting up to the Range every Tuesday and Thursday in late March and now, in early April, we can do the same!
Spring skiing is a big time for working on agility, confidence, and body awareness…in the form of some jumps! With hay bales aplenty and tiki torches blazing, we called up the UVM ski team and asked if they’d like to come show us their skills. They did not disappoint, and we even had a few rounds of skier-cross and sharks and minnows to ensure that late-season aerobic work. Thanks Cats!
A bunch of MNC skiers also had a great time at the Cochran’s Nordic X event on Sunday…this thing was HUGE! Any nordic race that involves an alpine lift ride to the start (think Stowe Derby, too) is bound to be awesome. I competed in the first edition of this event but hadn’t been back until this year. It has grown a ton! With a kids race, a giant gathering of Juniors from all over the area, and most all of the Dartmouth and UVM skiers it was a sight to behold. Here are some photos from the week!
Not just for the younger kids…

Big air!
