Good evening.

Well, that was an amazing couple of days of fundraising and team-building by the Kearsarge Nordic community.

We had at least 22 skiers help out and many, many parents gave their time to this fundraiser. And we made $3510.00. This money helps us purchase waxes, tools, equipment for the trailer, and allows us to offer a discount of $55.00 for folks who order their first team jacket. 

Speaking of jacket orders, the deadline for the soft goods order is Friday, November 14. Here's the link if you forgot it: 2025 Soft Goods Order form

In other news for the update:

• This week brings the first out of season practices for HS skiers. While these are not mandatory, it would be good to at least complete these workouts on your own if not with the team. Expect an email from Ainsley this week to let you know days and times.

• The workouts this week should include: 1- 75 minute Level 1 run, hike, bike, or roller ski (ideally it should be roller ski); 1- Interval workout with 3 sets of 5x30 L4-5 with 2:00 minutes between intervals (include a 20 minute warm up and 20 minute cool down); 1- 75 minute Level 1 roller ski (or other workout) with 4-1 minute Level 3-4  speeds in the middle.

I'll have the race schedule out as soon as I can get it to you all.

A super big thank you to all of you!!
