Roller skis
Nordic North Stars has a livery of roller skis for juniors to use during practice. If you own your own set of roller skis, great, make sure they are in good working order.
Helmet
Gloves - to protect hands
Skate Boots - the same boots used in the winter can be used in the summer.
Skate Poles - the same poles used in the winter can also be used in the summer. It is a good idea to add roller ski ferrule to the poles for better grip on pavement. Roller ski ferrule are sold at most ski shops in the summer.
Drink Belt - we are usually out skiing for more than an hour so it is important to have drink and snacks on hand. Water backpacks are okay but tend to throw small bodies off balance.
We will meet either at the Munger trailhead, located behind the Munger Inn in West Duluth, Grand Avenue Chalet parking lot or the Hermantown Soccer Complex parking lot. These three locations offer safe skiing and learning environments.
If it is raining, practice is cancelled. It is very dangerous to roller ski when the pavement is wet. We will try to schedule a make-up session later in the summer or on a different day.
