This year’s Festival is March 4 & 5 at Gould Academy in Bethel, ME. The theme is “Protect Our Winters”- Superheroes! Saturday will be a Skate Relay (1 or 2 km) and Sunday will be the Individual Classic Races (traditional age group distances). Coach Rosemary is also the Northwest VT Regional Coordinator and will set relay partners (you may e-mail her and make a request).
To Register: SKI REG
Festival Website (Schedule, Directions, Lodging & more): 2017 BKL Fest
Team Lunch Sign-up: Festival Lunches It’s a potluck and makes it fun and festive for all of us!
MNC Plans:
Friday: Meet Coach Rosemary at 2 PM at the Field house to ski and preview the course (we can move this back an hour if needed).
Possible Friday Team Dinner: Rooster’s Roadhouse- 1 mile from Bethel, casual, lots of variety & a children’s menu.
Dinner Saturday: Buy tickets to the Festival Dinner. It’s very affordable, kid friendly, the food should be good and there are not many other dining options in Bethel. We will all be scheduled for the same seating, so we can sit together. There is usually a raffle to peruse at the dinner as well.
Waxing: During the week before, Rosemary will send out a wax recommendation (probably on Wed). Those kids that can’t glide wax at home can do so at the end of practice at the Range on Thursday, March 2 and get help from the coaches. Everyone needs to clean their classic skis of all kick wax (we can do this on Thursday as well), in addition to hot waxing.
