This weekend’s BKL races are hosted by the Stowe Nordic Outing Club at the Trapp Family Lodge. Trapp’s is also hosting Eastern Collegiate and Eastern Cup race action, so this weekend is a great opportunity to watch and cheer some of the best racers in the country. There will be many former MNC BKLers racing!

Numerous details below on where to meet up and when!
Saturday – SKATE
For those who want to make a day of it, we will meet outside of the yurt – skis on ready to go at 10:30 to ski out on the course and watch the women/J2 girls. We will plan on doing the same thing at 12:30 to watch the men.
For the BKL race, we will meet outside of the yurt at 2:15 to warmup and preview the course as a group. BKL race action starts at 3:00.
BKL skiers planning on being at Trapps all day should have plenty of extra clothes and snacks. The touring center will be very crowded so we’ll be hanging out in the heated yurt.
Sunday – CLASSIC
No BKL races on Sunday but an opportunity to ski and watch some great racing. Rick and I will both be there and we will have team wax for those who need help with kick. We will meet by the yurt at 10:30 to watch the women’s 10k and again at 12:30 to watch the men’s race. Show up by 10:00 at the latest if you need help with kick wax.
Last few details!
Anyone who is skiing but not racing (parents, BKL kids on Sunday) will need to purchase a trail pass – but they are discounted this weekend to $10.
With so many races the close parking lot will be very full – build in some extra time to walk from the far lots!
I will send out a race wax recommendation later in the week.
