Welcome!

This blog for the Andover Nordic Ski Team will be used to help relay information to skiers, parents, and anyone else looking for information about the Andover Nordic Ski team.  This idea came up last night at the Andover Nordic Ski Team Boosters Club meeting.  

First off, since we had our first meet last night, congratulations to everyone who has now got their first cross country ski race done.  The team did very well overall and results should be available soon.

This weekend, it is encouraged for experienced skiers to race on saturday at Theodore Wirth Park.  There is a 10k skate citizen race there and the entry fee for High School students is $15.  This would be a great way to get a longer race in and after racing a longer distance, the normal 5k race will seem short.  Here's the link http://www.skinnyski.com/racing/forms/2008/preseasonphysical.pdf

Also, for parents that did not recieve the handout earlier this year for skiing websites, here are the links to the pages.

Skinnyski.com

Race results, trail reports, pictures, classifieds, you name it.  This has become the go-to website for skiing in the Midwest.

 

Teamtoday.org

Valuable website featuring how the US Ski Team is doing and how they are training.  A very motivational website with excellent pictures from races around the world.

 

Fasterskier.com

All sorts of information of what is going on in the skiing world.  From the US, to Canada, to Europe.
