Information about Edina Nordic Rentals

Please submit the attached completed form at the Kick-Off Meeting November 17 or scan and email your form by November 18 to Anne Hinrichs at

Do not pay until pick up time.

We are very fortunate to have some gear available for rent (skis, boots, poles and bags). Since there are typically more applicants than we can accommodate, we conduct a lottery. The lottery will occur on November 19 this year. Top priority is given to first year skiers. Occasionally we are able to rent to some returning skiers.

Expectations:

·  NEW! The rental program is designed for skiers who wish to actively participate on the Nordic team. If coaches see that a renter is not using the equipment on a regular basis (at least 3 times a week) we reserve the right to collect the gear and give it to another skier. Please consider your commitment level carefully before applying.

·  Skiers are responsible for the rental equipment. All gear should be treated with respect. Gouges and scratches will slow you down and ruin the skis. Learn how to wax at EHS – there will be opportunities to attend a waxing clinic.

·  Put a luggage tag on your bag with your name and cell number. Do not write directly on the bag.

·  Please personalize your bag with a ribbon, etc. There will be at least 30 bags just like yours in the wax room. A ribbon will make it easier for you to locate your bag.

·  Ski equipment must be returned when asked by the coaches to do so. Ski equipment is the property of Edina High School. All equipment must be returned or the skier will either pay a replacement fee or have their academic transcript withheld.

On November 19 we will conduct a lottery of all complete applications to create the order to pick up ski equipment. Each applicant will then be given a time during ski practice to try on their rental equipment and pay for it. If the skier misses their pickup time, they'll move to the next open time slot.

The rental fee is $30 for skis, $20 for boots, $10 for poles, $5 for bags ($65 for full package) and must be paid in order to pick up equipment. Please make checks payable to Edina Nordic Booster Club. No cash please. Filling out this form does NOT guarantee that there will be equipment for the skier. You will be contacted via email after November 19.

If financial assistance is needed, please see Coach Andy Turnbull or Coach Anne Hinrichs.

Boots: Some skiers will need to supply their own boots due to limited availability. Make sure that you purchase the right type of boot to go with your rental binding. There are a couple types of bindings, most commonly either Solomon SNS binding or NNN. The coaches recommend a combi-type boot for all beginner skiers. Combi boots can be used for skate or classic skiing and cost approximately $100 - $150.
