Week 14 Plan
Last week the MV Nordic Ski Team had one of its most successful Conference Championships in years as both boys and girls teams took 2nd place. There were impressive performances up and down our rosters and as always the team cheered for each other all day long. With this strong performance and positive momentum, we look ahead to the Section 4 Meet with excitement. The next couple days will be focused on preparing our sections roster to compete on Wednesday, but we will gather again as a full team later in the week.
Sections Rosters Boys - August Arnold, Will Kelley, Levi Hammerbeck, Miles Smith, Ian Gamson, Owen Kalmes, Jackson Ashbach, Niko Mares (alt.), Riley Fields (alt.) Girls - Kenna Karel, Claire Sabby, Maya Surve, Margot Derosier, Maddie Dornfeld, Bria Mills, Linnea Ousdigian, Noelle Boyd (alt.), Emma Stupar (alt.) Week 13 Plan
I guess it's appropriate that our Conference Championship Meet this week will take place on two of the warmest days of this "winter". As always we will prepare our minds, bodies, and equipment to perform at our absolute best regardless of the circumstance. The plan for the week is long because there is a lot happening with the SEC Championships on Wednesday and Thursday. Please read through everything carefully.
Week 12 Plan
With the polar vortex behind us, Week 11 will bring warm weather and the end of the first semester. With the Conference Championships only 10 days away, we will continue to have regular practice. However, with finals on Tuesday and Wednesday, I understand if some skiers take a day off during the week to study and get rest. At this point in the season, it's very important that everyone stays healthy. No sharing water bottles, no coming to practice when you're sick.
Week 11 Plan
Tuesday - Friday have been added to the schedule.
Due to the extreme cold temperatures predicted in Mora tomorrow, the SEC coaches collectively made the decision last night to cancel the MLK race. I was waiting to send out details because we debated changing several things to make it happen (race time, race length, race technique, etc.) In the end, the weather forecasts dipped below the MSHSL threshold for racing and we agreed there was no viable option where the skiers would be safe from the extreme cold. This cancelation changes our plans for the week, so I've been working throughout the morning to coordinate with the bus company and the MV activities office to create a new plan. The broader plan for the week will be updated as I hear back from people, but I'll start with the new plan for tomorrow. With the extreme cold, I've decided to not have us outside at all tomorrow. However, the day off from school and the time all of you already set aside gives us a unique opportunity to use MVHS amenities, have fun as a team, and do some needed maintenance on our bodies before the final stretch of the season. Week 10 Plan
  Hi Team! I will recap Mesabi and expand on this plan for the week when I can carve out some time, but I wanted to get the basic plan up on the website.
Week 9 Plan
The turn of the New Year gave us our first measurable snowfall and a welcome drop in temperatures. Trail conditions are still far from ideal, but snowmaking has resumed across the twin cities and we're moving in the right direction. There will be a lot of moving pieces this week because of the Mesabi Trip this upcoming weekend. However, there is official confirmation that the race on Wednesday is cancelled, so we'll be following the plan as written below. I still recommend that you check this website frequently throughout the week in order to get the most up to date information.
Week 8 Plan
First of all, it was fantastic to see all of the alumni and parents come out to the race Saturday morning. The alumni threw down an impressive performance and it was a joy for me to see and catch up with all of you. The team loves to see you too, so don't hesitate to reach out and come ski with us.
Holiday Camp 2.0 With little to no natural snow across the state and Giant's Ridge Ski Resort asking us not to come, we've canceled the original plan for Holiday Camp. While this is disappointing for all of us, there has been renewed energy, effort, and planning put in by the coaches, captains, and booster club to create Holiday Camp 2.0. Our hope is to use the snow and the venues we have here in town to recreate some of the ski experiences and team camaraderie that the team has come to love about our Holiday Camp Trip. Special Note: There will be no buses for any practice or activity throughout this week. Captains are going to help organize carpools for any skiers who don't have a ride. Here is the Google Form asking for RSVPs to team activities - games at MVHS, bowling at Flaherty's, etc. This google form was also sent out by the captains over GroupMe. You only need to fill it out once. Week 7 - Plan
