In the early season, it looks like uphill bounding with ski poles in hand, or running to the bike path and then switching from run shoes to roller skis for miles down the Norwottuck Rail Trail, headlamps lighting the way. It involves medicine ball strength workouts, track intervals in the dark and 1000-meter Skierg repeats. Early season looks like hiking up Mount Toby with teammates and friends on a Saturday morning. As the weather changes, practice moves to the rolling terrain of Cherry Hill golf course, groomed by our coaches (think snow!). Practice looks like boarding the bus in search of the best conditions-- the frozen Highland Lakes of DAR State Forest, The Dublin School, Prospect Mountain, and Notchview.  <span fr-original-style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit">All of this hard work leads to racing, where our skiers red line from start to end, with a celebratory collapse across the finish line.

Thank you for fundraising with us this year again! Here is more information.

Dear Families, Friends, and Community Members,  What does it look like to be a member of the Amherst Regional High School Nordic Ski team? In the early season, it looks like uphill bounding with ski poles in hand, or running to the bike path and then switching from run shoes to roller skis for miles down the Norwottuck Rail Trail, headlamps lighting the way. It involves medicine ball strength workouts, track intervals in the dark and 1000-meter Skierg repeats. Early season looks like hiking up Mount Toby with teammates and friends on a Saturday morning. As the weather changes, practice moves to the rolling terrain of Cherry Hill golf course, groomed by our coaches (think snow!). Practice looks like boarding the bus in search of the best conditions-- the frozen Highland Lakes of DAR State Forest, The Dublin School, Prospect Mountain, and Notchview.  All of this hard work leads to racing, where our skiers red line from start to end, with a celebratory collapse across the finish line. All of their hard work has been realized!  None of this is possible without equipment purchased and maintained by our program: smaller essentials like jump ropes and ski wax but also larger equipment like Skiergs and the trailer we hope to purchase this year. With 60 team members on the Amherst Regional High School Nordic team (and four devoted coaches!), your donation means we can support each athlete as they pursue this fun and healthy winter activity.  Curious how we might use your donation? Here are some ways your donation will help our program:  $25 will help us cover the cost of smaller equipment: med balls, jump ropes, fitness bands, agility ladders.  $50 will help us replenish our wax supply, repair skis/roller skis, and support our road trips in search of snow.  $75 will help us add additional speed suit uniforms, new roller skis and ski tips.  $100 will help us with grooming costs; our goal of purchasing a trailer to transport equipment to and from events; Skierg repairs and our hope to purchase a new Skierg.  Many thanks for your generosity!
