Meeting up with ski groups – Please help your child get their equipment on if needed and make sure they know their group meeting spot.
Penguins- in front of the Walker Building
Jack Rabbits- at the Penalty Loop
Arctic Foxes- in the Stadium across from the penalty loop
Racers- in the Stadium in front of the timing building

Bring a Water Bottle! As we start to ski more at practice we thought it would be a good time to mention that lots of kids are working hard and getting thirsty at practice. If you have some type of little waist pack, water bottle holder or camel back at home it would be a great way to carry water while skiing. These don’t have to be fancy, just secure around the waist and hold a bottle. You can also bring a full water bottle or little thermos and leave it at the edge of the trail near the metal fence below the Walker Building.

MNC BKL T-Shirts- Thanks to some friends of the program we have new t-shirts for everyone in the program. We have lots of Penguin shirts to hand out this week and if your child doesn’t have a shirt yet or needs to swap size please check in with us in the Walker Building at the end of practice on Tuesday. We have some youth medium, youth large and an adult small for swapping.

Tuesday: Penguins, Jack Rabbits, Arctic Foxes & Racers

Practice Waxing Info: Temps around 30 and new snow. Toko red and yellow range. If you have waxable classic skis you can wax at home or meet at the wax bench outside the Walker Building 10 minutes before practice..  If you raced this weekend or have wax from skiing last week we can put the wax of the day right on top of that wax.

Saturday– *The race is on! Race organizers report that, ” we have excellent skiing in the Valley. Really psyched for it!” *

This weekend is the Mad River Ramble BKL Race and Fun! It was originally scheduled for Sunday 1/14, but they have moved it to Saturday 1/13 in the afternoon. Families can sign up racers, then pay by cash or check at the race. Online registration closes Friday 1/12 at 9pm. Day of race registration is available and closes 1 hour before each race start.

All BKL skiers that want to race are invited to come. Feel free to reach out to Coach Liz with any questions.

Depending on the weather we’re hoping to bring a fire pit and have families bring s’mores ingredients (more info later this week).
