BKL Updates 2/28

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 28 February, 2017 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

Thursday Practice (3/02)- Cancelled. The trails at the Range are currently closed. All those going to the Festival will need to wax and pack, so I am cancelling practice rather than having to drive somewhere to snow.

BKL Festival- Bethel has tons of snow and will definitely survive this week’s warm weather. Check out the photos:

Shooting Stars Biathlon Festival: March 12 at the Range. Register your kids now for this one, it’s going to be a lot of fun! Air rifle, paintball, & standard biathlon plus s’mores at the campfire, food & sugar on snow! For more info & sign-up: Shooting Stars Biathlon

The organizers are looking for help with serving the food. If your kids are going, consider volunteering! To help, e-mail Rick Constanza: rtcostanza@gmail.com

BKL End of Program Party: March 14. Stay-tuned for details!

2/24 Update – Friday Foxes Canceled

By Kort Longenbach on 24 February, 2017 in BKL Training Schedule

Sorry for the late email, I guess I was holding out hope that we could make something work to get on our skis today. Unfortunately Mother Nature has a different plan. Todays Friday Fox practice is cancelled. We will not be meeting next week either because of Feb break so we will touch base the following week to see if we can get back out on our skis.

Think snow and enjoy school break.

BKL Practice 2/28- 3/5: Vacation Week

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

Tuesday 2/28: Craftsbury Day! Instead of normal practice at the Range, we will meet at the Craftsbury Outdoor Touring Center at 10 AM. Bring SKATE skis and money for a trail pass ($5 kids, $10 adults). Pack a lunch, because we will ski until noon and then we can all have lunch together in the Touring Center. After lunch, there will be time to play on the hills or go for another ski.

If you’ve never been there, skiing at Craftsbury will be a treat! 91 km of trails groomed for both classic and skating! This is probably the largest cross-country ski area in Vermont and the terrain is perfect for cross-country. There is something for everyone from the easy, rolling Duck Pond loop, to the challenging Elinor’s Hill downhill, to the long, gradual ascent of Ruthie’s Run. There is even a cabin to ski to with cookies and hot chocolate. They get lots of snow, but just in case, they make snow too and have a couple of huge mounds of it that kids love to play on. It’s about an hour’s drive from the Range in Jericho and definitely worth the trip!

Thursday 3/2: CANCELLED! Range trails closed. ;(

Future Dates & Notes:

Tuesday March 7 & Thurs, March 9- Practices at the Range, normal time.

Sunday, March 12- Shooting Stars Biathlon Festival at the Range. Details coming.

Tuesday March 14: BKL Program Awards & End of Season Party
