Benefit Concert for McCall Nordic Ski Team **
Idaho Outdoor Association Hall, Brazil Street
Let Boise’s finest traditional musicians - The Giant Leprechauns and Hokum Hi-Flyers - take you on a musical tour through time, from the jigs and reels of Ireland, across the Atlantic for Ol’ Time Appalachian fiddle and banjo, and finishing up with some down-home bluegrass.
$10 Admission Adults. Kids half-price.
Directions to IOA Hall: take Vista until you’re nearly at the Airport, then, at the top of the hill, go left (East) on Sunrise Rim Rd., then right on Brazil.
** MNST is paying off expenses that arose from an unfortunate lawsuit/misunderstanding following the wonderful March 2008 World Masters Championships in McCall. For information, visit the ‘World Masters’ area on the right side of this site:

Thanksgiving Skiing
Posted on November 23rd, 2009
Ketchum: As of last Saturday there was a skate lane from Prairie Creek to Galena. Some Galena trails are groomed. The skiing was excellent on Saturday. Sunday there was about 2″ of powder on the trail but the skiing was still good. info at http://www.bcrd.org/conditions/groomingreport/tabid/178/Default.aspx
DON’T POACH THE TRAIL! BUY A TRAIL PASS! They have numerous pass checkers and you will get caught.
From McCall Nordic:
We have groomed skate skiing and some classic at Bear Basin! Skiing is excellent with about 12 inches of snow and over 6 Kilometers of skiing with more Ks being added everyday. By Thanksgiving Bear Basin plans on having over 10 Kilometers groomed. Make sure to buy the McCall Area Nordic Pass before you head to the trails. The quality of the grooming this year is dependent upon us selling these passes. Pondersosa plans on grooming the same as last year as does Jug Mountain Ranch and the Activity Barn. So get the Pass that works for you, the McCall Area Pass. Visit www.mccallnordic.com for information on the pass, grooming updates and more.

Simplify with Swix
Posted on November 16th, 2009
Arguably the best team in the USA, APU keeps things simple. They exclusively use SWIX for a reason. http://blogs.fasterskier.com/apu/2009/11/15/its-all-about-the-skis/
Far too often I have personally seen skiers try to “outsmart” their competitors by getting creative with waxing.
Waxing is SIMPLE - predict the temperature and apply the appropriate wax at the appropriate iron temperature. Scrape, Brush and Ski
