Tony Percha, Cyril Grum, and Zbigy Zlobicki know that ski racers are made in summer! Training starts in May, particularly if you're Zbigy and plan to attend the 2027 Masters World Cup in Tomso, Norway!
Got back home and updated rosters and results through the Noque. I did not do team points yet but should do that shortly, and add the White Pine Stampede. Attached are the current results.
The recent snow, the expert grooming of three grooming teams, and predicted cold nights will ensure the best race conditions of the year.
White Pine Stampede: YES! Fire N Ice: NO. PA Nordic Championships: NO. King of the Mountain: NEW and YES! Michael Seaman Memorial: NO!
Need something to do the day after the White Pine Stampede? Race the King of the Hill at Schuss Mountain in Bellaire, Michigan!
Good news: Lots of snow is in the forecast for the White Pine Stampede! Now see how you should wax....
Snow drought ends: White Pine to get slammed with snow! Plus the loop was remeasured - it's 5.4km. Only 4 laps instead of 5 for the 20km event. Of course, with this new snow....
The inaugural Mike Seaman Memorial 10k Classic, originally scheduled for Sunday 2/4/18, has been canceled due to low snow conditions. In lieu of the event, Team NordicSkiRacer suggests going for a ski in Mike's honor on Sunday.
Our goal is to give young skiers an opportunity to ski with their peers, advance their skiing skills and have FUN. Skiers of all abilities are welcome (parents of young skiers are more than welcome too).
Going into this 50K Freestyle at the Noquemanon, I had one main thread in mind: Prepare to reserve energy. The strategy I used in those days carried me well this weekend.
With the Madshus Redline Intelligrip ski and MOVE binding system, the skier can adjust grip and glide on the skin ski by moving the binding backward and forward on the binding plate without taking the skis off.
Wax recommendations for upcoming races: Noquemanon Ski Marathon
The first Great Bear Chase took place in 1981 and Richard Clark was there. This year marks the 36th annual ski marathon and Richard Clark plans to be there, just as he has for every Great Bear Chase.
