Get the kids’ skis dusted off and make sure those boots and poles fit because the snow is here early and BKL practice begins at the Range on Tuesday Dec. 3! All groups should meet inside the Walker Building this first day. Kids will meet their coaches, we’ll do a few intro words and games and get out to ski if there is snow, or get out for some dryland & games in our sneakers if there is no snow. Check the website (BKL Weekly Training Schedule ) to confirm the technique (classic or skate) and practice plans.

UVM Fun Day!
An afternoon of fun in the sun with the UVM Ski Cats!
Ahh sunshine! We all relished in it last Tuesday when the UVM Cats came to ski with us! It was one of those perfect March ski days- not too warm, but sunny and just warm enough to soften things up a little so it wasn’t icy at all. MNC graduates Henry Harmeyer and Greg Burt were among the Cats who came to ski with us. Both these guys grew up skiing BKL with MNC and attended many UVM Fun Days as BKLers. What a great thing it was to see them sharing their enthusiasm and love for skiing! They and their team mates built an awesome Nordic Cross course with a little jump for us, played sharks and minnows with us and taught us a new game- Catch the Wolf! (We will be sure to add that one to our repertoire next year). Thanks so much UVM Nordic Ski Team and Head Coach Pat Weaver!
