After all that brutal cold weather, this week will give us much warmer temperatures, possibly even rain (but hopefully not). We’ll be practicing ski changes this week in preparation for the MNC Skiathlon.
MNC SKIATHLON– Saturday, 2/11. This race is a fundraiser for our scholarship fund. Skiers do a lap of classic, change skis and finish with a lap of skating. Grades 1 & 2 do a Classic lap only. It’s a lot of fun! There is a race for everyone with Adult races in the morning and BKL Races in the afternoon. Everyone is welcomed to race! Check it out:

Cookies for the Skiathlon:
We need cookies for the BKL Skiathlon Race! If you are planning to come, please bring cookies so we can have refreshments for the kids at our awards party after the race! Drop them off at the Round Barn (Registration). Thanks so much!
We still need a few more volunteers, too: Skiathlon Volunteering

If you need kick wax, plan to drop off your classic skis 75 minutes ahead of your race time so we can get them kick waxed in time for you to try them out. Check back later in the week and I may post some meeting times for course preview with coaches.
Coming Up Next Week: Valentine’s Day BKL Mini-Marathon!
We will need parents to bring some healthy snacks, and maybe some of them could be Valentine’s Day themed! We will also need a couple of parents to help setup & monitor the snack table & to help count laps. Please email Rosemary if you can help: sheacobb19@gmail.com
