Tuesday 1/11/22: Practice cancelled.
The forecast is for a high of 1 F and a wind chill of -13 in the afternoon. BKL, Masters & Biathlon will be cancelled and most Juniors are having a rest day.
Have your kids warm up with a hot drink and watch this video showing an amazing performance by Jessie Diggins in this year’s Tour de Ski. All our BKL groups worked on their V-1 technique last Thursday and you can see the skiers do it really well in parts of this video, so tell kids to be on the watch for V-1 technique. Also pay attention to how well Jessie tucks, drafts, and works the downhills- she’s amazing!
Tour de Ski Stage 3 Women’s 10km Skate

Races this Weekend: (open to all)
There are two races this weekend. Saturday’s Silver Fox Trot is traditional BKL age group distances and Coach Rosemary will be there to help you ski the course and warm up. This is the race we will focus on attending as a team this weekend. There will also be MNC Juniors and Masters racing in the open race later that day. It should be a fun event and it’s always well-organized. Sign-up on the MNC Racer Roster to let us know you are coming and see below for all the information & registration links.
