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.

MNC fund raising effort to purchase generator
The club is seeking donations to help purchase a portable generator that can be used at the wax tent for BK, Junior and Masters events. The Honda generator is capable of running wax irons allowing us to help athletes with both glide and kick waxing at important events. Parent volunteer Don Harmeyer checked out the options and selected the Honda EU200i. He has also contacted a local business that will match the best price available (approx. $1000.00) If you would like to donate please send a check to MNC C/O Rick Costanza 24 White Pine Rd, Fairfax, VT 05454. Thanks!
BKL This Week
BKL Racing and Jackrabbits – we will be at the range T-TH this week for ski practice. Just in case the man-made snow piles are big enough: Bring skate skis and running shoes and a plastic sled if you have one – for the MNC Chariot Races. PLEASE – no more shorts and T-shirts. Hypothermia and frostbite are no fun.
Sunday – There is a BKL race at Craftsbury. Coaches will be there to help. Race information is posted at: http://craftsbury.com/skiing/events.htm
Here are a few pics from Saturdays BKL at Craftsbury. The kids did a 2 km time trial and worked on their tele turns later in the day.
