Classic Week!
We are going to take advantage of cold temps and fresh powder this week and go classic all week! The Range has good snow on their snowmaking loops and with the bits of fresh powder we’ve been getting, we may be able to ski on some of the other trails as well.
Tuesday 1/07: Everyone Classic
We will work on refining our classic kicking and gliding with games, drills and thrills!
Thursday 1/09: Jack Rabbits, Arctic Foxes, Racers: Classic
We will build on what we did on Tuesday and also focus on downhill techniques.
Saturday 1/11: Racers & anyone who wants to race: Bogburn Classic BKL, Pomfret, VT
Get the info on the race here: Bogburn BKL Calendar Listing

The forecast right now is for warm temps and possibly snow or rain. This means a klister classic with great kick!
If they think they will get too much rain and need to cancel, we will do a practice, possibly involving a time trial.
Wax Recommendation: 1) Clean your kick zone (we’ll be using klister)
2) Hot wax tips and tails with a non-fluro wax: TOKO yellow or Swix CH 8 & 10 mixed 1:3.
Update 1/09: The latest is that the race is on! Rain is supposed to come later in the day. They may adjust times accordingly. They also got 3-4″ of fresh powder last night. They have also secured a back-up race site which is Woodstock Nordic Center. The race will happen one way or another. Be sure to register and let Rosemary know you are coming.
