Hey all, I just wanted to send out a quick message about joining summer Nordic and renting roller skis.

The easiest and most effective way to continue to progress in our sport of skiing is to roller ski in the summer. It can be almost as beneficial as an entire season on skis because we focus solely on building technique and being comfortable on skis (along with a little lifting). We don’t have to do big ski workouts or get you into shape, just technique.

Let me know if have questions. I am happy to explain further if need be.

We recommend getting your own roller skis at Pioneer Midwest. They have their own brand of them and they are the best in the business at the best price I have ever seen. They charge $225 with bindings and many times will even give high school skiers a discount on top of that.

If you need to rent roller skis, there will be a roller ski check out time in late May or early June. I will put the date in the teamapp schedule once we have it nailed down. You can rent them for $50 along with a $100 deposit check. We will have that information for you later this spring.

Lastly, if you need the schedule and more info on summer Nordic, search “maple grove summer Nordic” in TeamApp and ask for access to our summer Nordic page.
