Introduction
Welcome to the 2015-16 Stevenson’s Youth Program. My name is Karen
Kenlan and I will be leading the SYP program this year. I look forward to
working with both you and your family as we introduce your kids to the
great sport of cross country skiing.
A little about my background. I have been involved in nordic skiing and ski
racing since moving to Bend over 20 years ago. I have spent many years
and nordic clinics through MBSEF to become a better skier and racer. I also
coach cycling and fitness for Wenzel Coaching in the cycling disciplines of
road, mountain and cyclocross.
The Stevenson Youth Program is designed to foster a lifelong appreciation of the sport of
cross country skiing, a love for the outdoors and basic understanding of our amazing winter
environment. We will be working on a skills progression that will utilize group games, trail
adventures, and fun races, while also learning about ski equipment and how to care for it.
Our sessions will be led by experienced coaches and will allow for small groups that are based
on age, focus and ability.
Please take a moment to look through this handbook as it contains valuable information to
prepare your child to have the best experience possible while they are out in the snow.
I will be communicating with you on a weekly basis once the program begins via email about the
upcoming lessons and weather situation.
Remember to check www.mbsef.org for up to date information and please make sure
your child has a valid season pass for the Mt. Bachelor Nordic area.
Please feel free to call or email with questions or concerns throughout the ski season.
Thank you!

Stevenson Youth Program 2015-16
We are excited you have joined the team this year
and we’re looking forward to a great ski season.
The SYP program will focus on having fun on skis
and encouraging each participant to improve their
skiing skills. Our sessions will be organized around
a steady continuum of technique building, laughter,
and exploring winter.
In the following pages you will find detailed information
important in creating a positive experience for you and
your child.
1. Please head out to your garage today and see what equipment you may have outgrown, or need
to look for. If you are new to skiing, a Nordic equipment guide is posted on our website, www.
mbsef.org and included in this handbook. This is a great resource for starting to understand what
equipment works well, and what doesn’t.
2. The MBSEF Nordic program has a limited supply of skis, boots, and poles in the event your child
would like to borrow equipment for the season. Contact us and we can go through our equipment and see if we can find something that will work for your child.
3. www.mbsef.org. The MBSEF website is a great resource to be familiar with. On it you will find
the following information:
• Local race schedule- we always need racers and volunteers.
• Make sure that mail from mbsef.org is on your ‘safe-list’ for e-mails as we use e-mail for most of
our in-season program correspondence.
• Flexible Classic and Skating Sessions. It is critical that these young skiers have successful skiing
experiences and at times the weather in the Cascades can make that a challenge. To accomplish
this, MBSEF will announce the schedule of classic and skating sessions by email and on the MBSEF
Nordic Calendar (based on weather reports, grooming, etc.) before each weekend. There does
come a point where skiers need to learn to ski in all conditions, but at this age our number one
goal is help the skiers find success and have fun.
4. If you are a new or returning member of the Stevenson Youth Program please review the ParentAthlete Handbook at www.mbsef.org. Please read it carefully and if you have any questions, feel
free to contact an MBSEF Nordic staff member by calling 388-0002.
Stevenson Youth Program
HISTORY
The Stevenson Youth Program is the very first level of the MBSEF Nordic development pipeline.
Dan Simoneau is the Nordic program director and oversees all aspects of the Youth, Middle School,
Winter Term, Full Time and Masters Nordic programs and events.
In memory of their youngest daughter Angie, the Stevenson Family
gave generously to the Mt. Bachelor Ski Education Foundation’s
Endowment Fund to support a sports psychology program and
develop programs for young junior athletes. Angie Stevenson was
a member of the MBSEF Cross Country Elite Team and had grown
up skiing in the Skyliner’s program. She was an accomplished
athlete excelling in cross country skiing, running and biathlon.
Angie won the US Bank Pole Pedal Paddle in 1993 and 1996. Angie
passed away in February of 1997. Since her death, many donors
from all over the country have made contributions to the program
in Angie’s memory.
See you on the trails!!

2015-2016 Nordic Stevenson Youth Program
Ages 7-11 - Grade 2,3,4,5
The Stevenson Youth Program (SYP) is designed to foster a lifelong appreciation for the sport of cross country skiing, a
love for the outdoors, and a basic understanding of our amazing winter environment. In the SYP skiers in 2nd through 5th
grade, (ages 7-11) will participate in a 3 day Winter Camp followed by 10 Saturdays and/or 10 Sundays, of progressive, age
appropriate activities that will develop their XC skiing skills, fitness, environmental awareness, and love for the outdoors in
a fun and challenging environment.
SYP participants are offered a fun environment where they can play group games, embark on trail adventures, experiment
with racing, learn how to take care of their equipment and ski in small groups based on age, focus and ability.
Daily Schedule: Saturday and/or Sunday. Athletes meet their coach outside of the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Lodge at 9:30
a.m. on skate days and 9:15 a.m. on classic days. Parents can meet their athletes as they return to the Nordic lodge at
11:00 a.m.
Enrollment Options: 10 Saturdays and/or 10 Sundays. Plus Winter Camp at N/C for everyone.
Flexible Classic and Skating Sessions: It is critical that these young skiers have successful skiing experiences, and at times
the weather in the Cascades can make that a challenge. To accomplish this, MBSEF will announce the schedule of classic
and skating sessions by email and on the MBSEF Nordic Calendar (based on weather reports, grooming, etc.) a few days
before each weekend. There does come a point where skiers need to learn to ski in all conditions, but at this age our
number one goal is help the skiers find success and have fun.

Events: Throughout the year the skiers will participate in little races and relays organized by the coaches as part of their program.
These are very informal, varied, low pressure, fun events that keep the skiers motivated and introduces them to racing. In these events
the emphasis is totally on each individual and we celebrate every skier’s accomplishment.
Skiers can enter other races at Mt. Bachelor or other places across the West. MBSEF and the Stevenson Youth Program encourage
skiers to enter races between 1 and 3 km. It is the responsibility of parents to sign their children up for these great local races. Details
on races will be distributed during the season in addition to being posted on our web site at www.mbsef.org.
Trail Passes/Transportation: All participants will be responsible for their own passes. Go to www.mtbachelor.com for early season
deals. Transportation is the responsibility of the participant.
Equipment: Skiers need their own classic and skate equipment (skis, poles, boots). Equipment can be obtained at the Skyliners
Winter Sports Swap in October, Sunnyside Sports, Mt. Bachelor, and Webcyclery. Also, MBSEF hosts an in-house swap after the
parent meeting.

CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT
Buying new equipment for growing bodies is daunting. But- remember you can sell this year’s new equipment
at next year’s ski swap for close to the same price that you bought it- and quality equipment that fits well is one
of the keys to a successful skiing experience. Part of your son/daughter’s MBSEF membership includes special
equipment pricing with local retailers. Sunnyside Sports and Webskis will place team orders. Complete junior
buy information is posted on the Nordic page at www.mbsef.org as soon as it is available each year. Make sure
your son/daughter’s name is written on everything with a permanent marker- boots, skis, poles, jackets, the
works. Unclaimed items are donated to the Goodwill. The most important items that skiers should have are a
dry hat, dry long sleeved shirt, dry socks and food and water for after practice–every day!!
• POLES - Participants need 2 pairs of poles with modern baskets. Measure while your child is in running
shoes, standing on concrete. Classic poles need to reach the mid point of the shoulder bone. Skate poles
should reach somewhere between the chin to just under the nose. Remember, as you child grows; his or her
skate poles can be cut down to become their classic poles.
Skate Boots
Classic Boots
Combi Boots
BC Boots
(avoid these)
• BOOTS - Participants can have 1 or 2 pairs of boots. Combi boots work for both classic and skate. If this
is your first year of skiing- a combi boot would be a good option. Different boot brands will have different
binding systems. NNN, SNS and SNS Pilot- make sure that your boots and bindings match! Please avoid any
backcountry boots (BC) and bindings- they’re too wide for track skiing. Boots must be very comfortable, like
a running shoe, try them on carefully with non-cotton ski socks that will be worn during practice.
• SKIS
Participants can have 1 or 2 pairs of skis. Combi skis, or skis that can be used for skate and classic, work just
fine for skiers under 80lbs. If you have combi skis you are required to completely clean off your kick wax
before you come to the next practice. Coaches will help with this but it would be good to have some basic
waxing equipment at home- see waxing section on following page. Fish scales/waxless skis are fine for a
skiers first or second year. Skis come in different flexes and the best way to test the flex of a ski is to go to
a local retailer and have it done for you- you just need to know the skier’s weight and they’ll do the rest.
To guess the flex of a ski, have the skier put the bases of the skis together and see if he/she can fully compress the bases together. (Skate skis, use two hands. Classic skis use one hand) If the athlete can just close
the skis, they are close to the right flex. If he/she cannot close the skis, they are probably too stiff and if
the skis close without much effort, they are probably too soft. For determining the kick zone of classic skis,
you can also do the ‘card trick’ by placing skis that are completely free of wax on a flat table. Have the skier
balance with their full weight applied equally to both skis and slide a business card between the ski and
table- mark where the card stops- top and bottom. Then, have the skier balance their weight 100% on one
ski and repeat the card slide. If you can’t get the card between the ski and the table- the skis are too soft. If
you can slide the card from below the heel of the binding to near the tip of the ski- the skis are too stiff. You
are looking for a pocket that starts near the end of the heel plate and extends 40 to 60cm (16 to 23 inches)
towards the tip of the ski.
See next page for a ski sizing guide.
Stevenson YOuth program
SKI EQUIPMENT
• Skate Skis-athlete height
SNS Bindings
• Classic Skis- athlete height plus 10 to 15cm
NNN Bindings
BC Bindings
(avoid these)
• Combi Skis-athlete height
Age 7-9
• Skis: Waxable Combi (smooth base) is best, waxless is ok (fish scale)
• Boots: Combi
• Poles: 2 pair is best, 1 pair is ok
Age 10-13
• Skis: waxable classic and skate or waxable combi:
• Boots: 2 pair, 1 skate and 1 classic (1 pair of combi boots is ok too)
• Poles: 2 pairs
Age 13-adult
• Skis: waxable skate (person height) and waxable classic (1 pair of skate and 1 pair of classic)
• Boots: 2 pairs, skate and classic
• Poles: 2 pairs
• WAX- coaches will help with all aspects of waxing on classic days and race days. Participants
should always come to practice with skis that are clean–meaning no kick wax, and glide wax
scraped.
Here are a few items that are good to have at home for waxing.
Scraper
Groove
scraper
Brush
Base
cleaner
Fiberlene
Glide
Wax
Iron
Stevenson YOuth program
CLOTHING & SKI EQUIPMENT
CLOTHING- Please do not ski in cotton clothing- ever! Brand names such as Swix, Toko, Sporthill,
Patagonia, Craft and Mountain Hardware have ski specific clothing. Most second hand stores in
Bend are filled to the brim with appropriate ski attire. Thin gloves and hats are warmer and better
than thick gloves and hats. Thick gloves are impossible to get into pole straps and cause hands to
sweat- which leaves hands cold and miserable in minutes. Mittens are just fine for this age group.
Hand/foot warmers are not necessary. Skiers must wear their hat at every practice! Other important
items: ski pass, sunglasses (avoid goggles), water bottle/carrier (avoid camelbacks because they
restrict shoulder movement), long sleeve top (wool or polypro) jacket, pants, clothes to change into
(extra dry shirt, hat and socks are a must!) Please make sure to have a backpack that can hold all of
these items.
Hat Good Gloves Jacket Ski Pass
Pants Bad Gloves Good Belt
Synthetic or Wool Thermals
No Cotton please!
Sunglasses Avoid Camelbacks
Backpack Ski Bag
No goggles please!
SEASON PASS/DAILY PASS- All Saturday and/or Sunday skiers need a Nordic season pass or day
pass to Mt. Bachelor. Check for prices online at www.mtbachelor.com
waxing like the pros
For those of you that want to learn to wax your
own skis, or improve upon your waxing skills,
check out the weekly clinics this winter at the
following retailers:
WebSkis: www.webskis.com
Sunnyside Sports: www.sunnysidesports.com
MBSEF will be open Tuesday evenings for
SYP skiers to come in and wax skis. Adults will
supervise waxing for younger skiers and will
be available to assist. Waxing benches are also
available during normal operating hours.
Recommended tools:
• Electric iron
• The best way to avoid damaging skis is to secure a brand name ski wax iron so that you can carefully monitor the temperature of the iron. Ski wax irons have a temperature guide that matches
the type of wax with the perfect iron temperature. Please do not use an old clothing iron.
• Nylon brush ( to clean ski base after scraping off wax)
• Thick, sharp, plastic scraper
• Klister spreader (use as a groove scraper and to remove wax from the side walls of your skis)
• Base cleaner/wax remover
• Paper towels or fiberlene (easy clean up)
• Synthetic cork (to smooth out kick wax)
• Glide wax- 3-4 types of glide wax 1 for warm (yellow) 1 for medium (pink/red) 1 for cold (purple)
• Kick wax 3-4 types of kick wax 1 for cold (green/blue) 1 for medium (violet) 1 for warm (red/yellow) 1 universal klister for warm air temps and old snow
• Brands for Glide and Kick include Swix, Toko, and Holmenkol.
Optional tools:
• Form bench (to hold ski in place)
• Heat gun (easy for klister application/clean up)
You can find these items at local ski shops, hardware and grocery stores.
Notes on Iron Use:
Conditions at Mt. Bachelor permit skiers to use warmer/softer wax for most of the year. If you are
trying to decide which wax to use–err toward the warmer side. If you have come across a block of
wax and can not dent the block of wax easily with your fingernail-it is probably too cold of wax and
you run the risk of damaging your skis with the high iron temperatures necessary to melt the wax
into the ski. Overall, softer, warmer wax is better for individuals who are learning how to wax.

IMPORTANT DATES AND
APPROPRIATE RACES
Youth program skiers are encouraged to try
selected local races at Mt. Bachelor, if they express
an interest in racing. The appropriate distance for
this age group is less than 3km. If a young skier
can comfortably ski 2 or 3 times the distance of the
race without stopping, then some of the following
races will be appropriate. Fun is the focus at this age when it comes to racing, so events that involve
costumes and relays are great. Sign up for local races online at www.mbsef.org or pick up a flier from
the Nordic Center, MBSEF Office, Webskis or Sunnyside Sports
