New Years Day Ski

By Adam Terko on 29 December, 2012 in BKL Race Blog, Masters Blog

BK Racing and Masters – We will kick off the new year with a ski at Trapps instead of the range to take advantage of the holiday and lots of new snow.

11:00 AM – 12:00 noon: BK classic ski with Rick and Andy. Masters that want some coaching meet with Christa and Leigh.

12:30 until sometime in the afternoon BK, Parents and Masters – a social ski with mixed groups for tour of the trails. Choice of technique.

We do not have a full complement of coaches so Jackrabbits are welcome to come along for the tour but parents will have to help out so everyone is accounted for. Some groups will be moving faster then others.

Classic Waxing – Try to dial in your classic wax before you arrive to speed up the process. We will help you upon arrival but we’d like to be skiing by 11 AM so come a few minutes early to get a trail pass and check wax. It should be a nice hardwax day.

BK and Masters Update 12/19/12

We will have BK and Masters ski practice at the range on Thursday. We may have a short section of trail to ski so bring skate skis and running shoes. Don’t forget drinking water.

BKL and Masters canceled tonight

By Adam Terko on 18 December, 2012 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

After speaking with the head groomer at the range we have decided to cancel practice tonight. As of this morning the hill was completely ice covered and the snow they do have is bordered by a lot of mud so we would end up making quite a mess. This is disappointing but Thursday should be better and they plan on making more snow starting Friday.

Masters 12/18 -12/20

By Adam Terko on 17 December, 2012 in Masters Blog

We should have a small section of skiable trail this week. Please bring skate skis and running gear for a combined dryland/on snow workout.

If mother nature cooperates with some winter weather we would like to put together some MNC relay teams for the NWVE Opener relays on the 23rd in St. Albans. Details are below. Those interested please contact Rick so we can form some teams. This could be a lot of fun – combining skiing with a social outing.
