It’s February vacation week and for those vacationing in Vermont we have a couple fun BKL ski options this week. (We don’t have regular Tues/Thurs BKL during February Break, but practice resumes March 5th.) We’ll do some field trips and both Sleepy Hollow and Craftsbury have snow making, so conditions should be good even if the snow melts in town.
Please RSVP and let coaches know that you are coming (There is a tab for each of these events on the spreadsheet)
