This should be a good week for skiing at the Range with new snow and cold temps last weekend to help set things up.
Tuesday 1/15: Classic for Everyone!
A high of 27F is forecasted meaning the kick wax should be Toko Red or Swix Extra Blue (V40) or possibly Special Purple (V45).
Thursday 1/17: Skate for Everyone!
Saturday 1/19: Race: Silver Fox Trot
Note: All BKL races are open to all kids who want to race (not just “Racers”). There are age group racers from lollipop (K & under) up to 8th grade.
This year’s Fox Trot will be held at Rikert Touring Center in Ripton. The Fox Trot is a classic race for grades 1&2, but a SKATE race for everyone else. It will feature traditional BKL distances for the different age groups. Get more info and register (by 1/17) on SKI REG and email Coach Rosemary to let her know you are coming. Day of race registration also available (extra fee).
The trails at Rikert are beautiful and worth the trip! Many families make a day of it, watching and racing in the morning, then skiing together and with friends after races.
