BKL Racers: Do the Stowe Nordic Cross-cut Race!

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 21 December, 2017 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

Set your sights on the Stowe Nordic Classic on January 7! There is a 2km mass start BKL Race. Everyone is welcomed to race. For some it will be a sprint, for others, the perfect distance race. Check out our calendar listing and register on Ski Reg. Race starts at noon so arrive at 10:30 to get your skis waxed up. Email Coach Rosemary (sheacobb19@gmail.com) if you plan to go and look for us where the wax benches are set up.

Practice Cancellation Reminders

By Adam Terko on 20 December, 2017 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Hello all,

Yesterday was our first big situation of practices needing to be changed and altered due to conditions at the Range. We have many ways of reaching out to members when things come up unexpectedly.

The blog and website are always tools for communication. Likewise, the Junior and Masters training docs, respectively, will usually have info posted even if it’s last-minute.

The Range Snow Report page has conditions and will often have useful training updates as well.

Finally, the “Remind” app is a great way to be absolutely in touch. This app sends out mass-texts to our various groups. If we need to make a last-minute change to a ski day, we will try to send out a Remind note by 2:30pm.

To sign up for Remind, send a text to the number 81010. In the body of the text, put @mncbk (for BKL) @mncma (for Masters) or @mncj (for Juniors).

BKL Training Week of 12/18

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 16 December, 2017 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Training Schedule

2 & 3 day skiers:

We are hoping to have some Guest Coaches join us this week!

Tuesday 12/19: Skate Technique.

Thursday 12/21: Classic Technique & Hot Cocoa & Snack Day!

Look for the wax benches and send your kids with skis there to get waxed. Any parents who can, please help the kids get waxed! It helps to get to the Range EARLY!
EVERYONE bring water jugs/bottles if you can to contribute to the Hot Cocoa (Water at the Range is not potable). I will bring herb tea as an option.
Bring a snack to share- cookies, gorp, fruit, gluten free snacks are great – we have a couple of gluten free kids and at least one nut allergy so please label any baked goods accordingly. Parents with allergic kids should monitor their kids’ snacks.
If you can help with putting out the snacks and making the hot cocoa, please e-mail Rosemary at sheacobb19@gmail.com

Saturday (3-day skiers): No practice this weekend. Ski on your own if you can!

Friday Foxes

More fun at the Range!

People who picked up rentals: Please label your equipment by applying a piece of painter’s (preferable) or masking tape to each ski, boot and pole and writing your child’s name on it. About ten of the kids have identical equipment!
