BKL Practices Vacation Week: NENSA BINGO!

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 20 December, 2020 in BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

Hi BKLers! We always suspend practices during December Vacation and this year will be the same. However, to give you some incentive to hop on your skis and get out there over the vacation, I am suggesting that everyone do NENSA’s BKL BINGO game! You can win a US Ski Team hat or a $20 LL Bean gift card! Read all the details and download your Vermont BINGO card here: BKL BINGO

Just some info on places to ski in the area:

Bolton– Adam groomed the 1 km loop on 12/18 and reports are that it is pretty good. You are welcome to go and ski it. Check the MNC website for latest conditions.

Sleepy Hollow– Their snowmaking loop is now about 600 m. long and they keep adding to it. It is great skiing! You can get a pass & sign in online. Check it out: Sleepy Hollow

Rikert– They got 10 inches in the last storm and almost everything is open! I skied here on Saturday and report that it was quite good. A few rocks in places, so if you have rock skis, opt for those. Passes and reservations needed: Rikert

Craftsbury– They have about 3 km of manmade skiing. They require reservations, passes and special bibs for the manmade loop. The last storm completely missed them.

Places to the South that got a lot of snow and are probably worth a day trip (be sure to check status on their webpages before going).

Woodstock Nordic, Mt. Top (Chittenden), Ole’s Cross-Country (Waitsfield), Strafford Nordic

Hey BKL kids and parents! We may not be able to get together to practice right now, but you CAN do some things on your own. Each week, I will be posting some suggested practices for you to do on your own for each different program. Be sure to send me pictures so I can post them and if you have any questions, please email me at sheacobb19@gmail.com. Stay safe, wear your mask when you go out, and hopefully, we’ll be able to get together for practice soon!

BKL Parent Meeting Post-Poned and BKL Challenges Coming Soon!

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 16 November, 2020 in BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

Because we have had to suspend our program indefinitely, I think it is wise to delay our Nov. 24th parent zoom meeting until we know when we can start our programs in person again. Keep your eye on the MNC e-blast for the latest updates.

Starting on Dec. 1, I will be posting weekly challenges for all the BKL groups on the BKL Training Schedule page. There may be challenges, technique drills, videos or other activities. Stay tuned!
