A Reminder and Some News

Reminder:  Nordic Parent Meeting is tomorrow (Thursday) at 5:30 in the High School Commons.  There may have been an announcement at the high school that incorrectly said the meeting was at 5 pm, but the correct time is 5:30.

There's a link in the right sidebar of the blog for Nordic Buy & Sell.  If you're looking for equipment for your kids, you can check there to see what's available.  I noticed that someone posted this week about boots and equipment for a younger (smaller) skier.

A little bit late, but here's some highlights from the Minnesota High School Nordic Coaches Association Fall Meeting in October:
  • Gunner Kleinschmidt, who won our Section's Volunteer of the Year last February, also earned State Volunteer of the Year for last season.  Congrats!
  • New pole length restrictions will be enforced this season. Classic poles can be no greater than 83% of height of the skier (100% of height for skate poles).  Measurement was defined as the athlete in shoes/boots (not on skis), with pole tip in ground and measured to top of the strap attachment.
  • When Giants Ridge contract ends, possible state meet venues could be Theodore Wirth in the Twin Cities and the Grand Avenue Nordic complex at Spirit Mountain in Duluth (expected to open fall 2018).
