NO SKIING AT THE RANGE TODAY (Tues)
We just received notice from Major Sprano at the National Guard as of 9:10am:
The Biathlon trails survived the weekend’s crazy weather fairly well. However, the rain and warm temperatures continue. With the National Guard East Region Competition and NORAM being held next week, we are asking that everyone stay off the trails today and tomorrow so that we can maintain the base that we currently have. We will be reopening the trails on Thursday when the temperatures go back down.
At this point, it looks like Sleepy Hollow is the only ski area that is open.
Juniors: as of right now we will attempt to ski at Sleepy Hollow, 4:00-5:30pm. Please bring running shoes as a backup.
BK and Masters this week
BK and Masters skiing will resume at the range this week at our normal schedule. Hard to believe but enough snow survived to keep a 2 km loop open. Temps will remain above freezing for the next couple of days. The course was groomed today but will not be touched again until temps drop and stay below freezing.
1/14 – TUESDAY
Penguins and Jackrabbits – 3:30 – 5:00 skate ski.
BK Racing – Classic Skiing – Bring waxless if you have them. If not and you have klister apply SWIX KR70 or TOKO Red or SWIX Universal. If you want to go one step further apply a thin layer of KR50 (violet) let cool and then apply the KR 70 over top. This can also be done with TOKO. Remember to keep they layers thin and make the kick zone a little shorter than with hard wax. Nothing behind the heel. Coaches will have some klister at the Walker Building too.
TOKO VIDEO – applying Klister: http://www.toko.ch/en/usage/application-videos/cross-country-skis
