BKL SKI CLOTHING SWAP: Bring your kids’ outgrown ski clothes and see if anyone can use them. Set them up on a table in the Walker Building. If your clothing is not for free, please label it with your name and the cost so people know who to pay.

We adjusted pole straps, learned how to kick and glide wax and even got out for some games on skis on Tuesday and had a fun practice on just enough snow at Mill River Park on Thursday. The three day crew had a great time up at Craftsbury on Saturday, skiing on some awesome snow and practicing race tactics.

Training Week of 12/13

Tuesday & Thursday Skiers: SKATE technique at the Range!

Please LABEL all your child’s skis and poles with their name! Lots of kids have similar equipment and it’s easy to mistake someone else’s for yours if there is no name visible.

Friday Foxes: tbd still waiting on specifics from Coaches.

Sunday: 3-Day Skiers & Everyone who wants to race: BKL Skate RACE at Craftsbury. Coach Rosemary will be there to help kids warm up and preview the course. Meet her on skis at 1:20 pm outside the Touring Center. E-mail Rosemary if you are going!

For details: Eastern Cup BKL Race

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 7 December, 2016 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

We will hold Thursday’s practice on skate skis at Mill River Park. The expansive fields there have adequate cover and conditions will be similar to what we found at the Range in the fields on Tuesday. Bring Skate ski equipment. There are port-a-potties at Mill River Park, but no warming hut. Temps should be around 35ish. We will meet at the gazebo.

Directions: Mill River Park is located on Rte. 15 in Jericho on the south side of the road just before the intersection of Rte. 15 and River Rd. (across from “Jolley’s” ).
