Spring Training

If there is anyone that is wanting to get some training in this spring, there is an option with the Minneapolis Ski Club starting in mid April and ending at the beginning of June.  This is with Kevin Brochman, and this is the group that we have our skiers use for summer training, which is another option for those wanting to get better.  We are not wanting to create year round skiers, but we are wanting the skiers to give themselves the opportunities to improve and get better prepared before the season starts.  If there are any questions, please let me know,
Thanks

Thank You!

Thank you again for all of the support and another great Nordic Season! 

A couple of things, a reminder that Wednesday, March 6th after school is Uniform and Equipment turn in's.  Please make sure uniforms are clean and also make sure skiers understand that it will take a little time to get equipment in because we need to clean the skis and put on wax before we store them.  Boy's also need to have their lockers cleaned out, locks taken off the locker, and brought to me with the combination written on the lock.  Until Wednesday, however, get out and enjoy the snow!!

Second, the ski shops are starting to have their end of season sales.  Keep your eye on skinnyski.com and I will post them as well.  These are great opportunities to get deals on skis as well as poles, boots, wax, and clothing.  If you are looking to get your first pair of skis of your own, look towards the classic skis, as having classic skis fit for you makes classic skiing so much better!

If there are any questions, please let me know. 

Thanks again and best of luck to all as they move onto their next sport/activity/adventure!!

MyXC Festival & Championships

There are still plenty of chances for the skiers to get out and ski as well as race.  Check out the Race Calendar on Skinnyski.com for up to date races.  With the snow not going anywhere any time soon, expect races to pop up.

One good possible option for a race(s) is this coming weekend, the MyXC Festival and Championships at Theo Wirth.  Check out the following for more details: https://www.loppet.org/events/midwestchampionships/

Reminder that the banquet is this coming Thursday at the City Center.  Check out the previous blog post on all of the details.

Any questions, let me know,
Thanks

Survey

For skiers, if you have not done the survey on our classroom page, please do so, this is a district survey and is mandatory. Thanks!!

State Meet

Congratulations to Abby Ellenbecker as she finished off the 2018-2019 Nordic season for the Cardinals with her 3rd appearance at the State Meet yesterday!   Even though she didn't have the first race she was hoping for, and conditions getting more challenging with heavy snow falling and strong winds, she kept working and moved up 16 spots in the Classic pursuit to finish in 51st out of 160 girls racing! Great work Abby!

For anyone that is wanting to take their skis home for the next couple of weeks while we have the snow, I will have the ski room open after school today.  Also, we will not turn our uniforms in for a couple of weeks as well in case there are a few that want to do a race or two, which there are plenty still available to compete in.

Thanks for the support,
Denny
