It’s Not Too Late to Get Your Rental Race Suit!

We still have race suits available for rent at $80 for Adult sizes and $60 for Youth sizes and who doesn’t want to look slick & fast in the classy MNC Podiumwear race suits? It’s not too late to get one before the races begin! Here is what we have left:

Youth Small-2

Youth Medium- 3

Youth Large- 1

Adult XS- 2

Adult S- 1

Adult M- 0

Adult L- 1

Adult XL- 1

Renting is a great idea for growing kids who change sizes every year, people who don’t want to invest in buying one and for anyone who missed the Podiumwear purchasing deadline. To rent a race suit, use this link:

Note: A Youth Large is equivalent to about a child’s size 10 or 12. The next size up is an Adult XS.

BKL Fun Fridays Recap

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 27 November, 2022 in BKL Race Blog

The MNC BKL kids have been getting out there having some fun already this fall. From soccer and coordination pre-ski activities to “Camouflage” in the fading light, we had great fun at Mill River Park on a lovely warm November Day. Our next BKL Fun Fall Friday was cancelled due to rain, but we were rewarded by having enough snow to ski on our last BKL Fun Fall Friday (which was actually held on a Thursday). A bunch of us made it over to Tomasi’s Field in Underhill which is going to be a great early snow site for BKL. BKL Coach Peter Davis grooms it and on the day we skied it was pretty darn good for only 2-4 inches of snow! The terrain features some nice rolling hills with a total of about 2.5 k of looping trails. Check out the pictures!

Soccer is always a favorite at Mill River Park!

BKL Fall THURSDAY- On Snow Adventure!!

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 16 November, 2022 in BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

We are going for an early snow ski adventure! Peter Davis is rolling Tomasi’s Field which is next to Casey’s Hill in Underhill. The grass has been mowed very short so the 3-4 inches of snow we got on Wednesday should be enough to ski on. It will be fun to get on skis and check out Tomasi’s!

Time: 3:45 to 4:45 pm (come early and/or stay as long as you want)

Location: Tomasi Field/Casey’s Hill. 16 Mountain Rd., Underhill, VT 05489.

Parking: There is small lot for a few cars at the 16 Mountain Rd address by Casey’s Hill. If the lot fills up, drop off your kid(s) and go back and park at Underhill Central School. I have been told that it’s possible to ski through the school fields and then some other fields across the road to link up with Tomasi’s. We might be able to shuttle as well.

What to bring: Any skis are fine for today, but if you have a choice, bring some no-wax classic skis. I will bring some TOKO yellow for anyone who has waxables and needs wax. I am also going to throw my rock skate skis in the car just in case the skating is doable. Feel free to bring extra skis- it will be a good day to try things out!

BRING YOUR HEADLAMP!! It will definitely be dark when we finish.

See you there!
