We celebrated the end of the ski season with two really fun days at practice.
MNC BKL Olympics Day was Thursday, March 6th. The warm weather and deep snow on the Tomasi trails made for a fun day with some tricky conditions for the Olympic Events.
Teams included a couple skiers from each of our groups (JackRabbits, Arctic Foxes and Racers). Countries represented this year included Austria, Finland, France, Germany Italy, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
Team Sweden and Team Norway
Teams competed in Dual Slalom, Ski Volleyball, Cone Shuttle Relay and Tennis Ball Biathlon.
Ski Volleyball was a new event this year and it’s fun, but tricky.
The Dual Slalom is always one of the favorite BKL Olympics events!
With very warm temps in the forecast the End of Season Celebration and Awards Day was moved up a couple days to Tuesday, March 11th. Skiers arrived at Tomasi to find t-shirt skiing weather and quickly shed gloves and hats as groups took off for some skiing and games ahead of awards.

At the end of practice coaches and skiers gathered in small groups to hand out paper plate awards, our new BKL sticker and gingerbread edible medals. It was a fun atmosphere with skiers, parents and coaches all celebrating together.
Thanks to all the BKL Coaches for making great paper plate awards for all the skiers!
Congratulations to our 8th Graders that have graduated from BKL – Adrianna Bibeau, Greta Carroll, Logan Cichanowski, Emma Connell, Linnea Daily, Fiona Repp and Ansel Sprague. We also had a couple 8th graders that were old enough to practice with the MNC Juniors this winter and joined us at the end of the season to participate at the New England BKL Festival – Sylas Weaver and Liam Vile.
We celebrated the end of the season with edible medals and new stickers!
A huge thanks Catherine McIntyre for designing our cool BKL sticker and Sarah and Greta Carroll (Better Baked Vermont) for making gingerbread edible medals for everyone.
We love edible medals. Thanks to Sarah and Greta Carroll for making one for each skier!!
