BK Update 12/12/13

By Adam Terko on 11 December, 2013 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog

BK Practice will be on foot – not skis – on Thursday. Our best information on the trail condition: yes there is snow but not enough to keep from going through and causing damage to the ski bases. It will be quite cold tomorrow so please make sure the kids all have adequate cold weather clothing. We will do a mix of outdoor and indoor activities.

If any parents have time during ski practice and would like to help out we need to move some firewood into the Walker Building……Thanks.

Bring on the SNOW!

BK This week and photos from last week

We hope everyone got out and enjoyed the good skiing this week. The man-made snow 1.5 km loop at Craftsbury is in great shape and many of the outer trails had thin coverage but were very skiable. We have also heard Trapps was open this weekend and Sleepy Hollow may have some skiing available too.

This week we are considering a couple of options depending on weather. If there is no snow at the range we are checking to see if we can ski on the fields at Mills Riverside Park in Underhill. If there is no snow in either place we will go to the range fro dry land ski activities. PLEASE CHECK THE BLOG FOR UPDATES BEFORE HEADING TO PRACTICE.

Thanks to Janet Wilson we have some BK pics from last week to share. Click on the link below.
