BK and Early Masters at Craftsbury on Tuesday 10:30 with skate skis

Dan is making snow tonight (Monday) and it looks like there will be a minimum of 500 m out and back trail and possibly a longer loop. So the range will be available by 5:45 for Masters to ski. Due to the holiday schedules won’t have our usual contingent of coaches but you are welcome to come and ski.

No ski practice on Thursday – Happy New Year!

The Saturday trip to Lake Placid is TBD based on trail conditions. We will consider other options so check back here frequently.

FAMILY SKI AT TRAPPS – 10 AM 12/26/14

I spoke with the XC folks at Trapp’s this morning and the trails survived the rain. Please meet me at the Nordic Center by 10 AM. Once I have an accurate count I will go in and buy all the tickets at once and then collect $ from everyone. So please bring cash or a check book.

$19 adult and $7 for those under 18.

Today they say the classic is good on red klister or no-wax skis and although there may be some thin spots all 65 km are open today. Feel free to choose whichever technique you prefer or bring both skate and classic. On my list right now we have about 20 people that have expressed an interest in going.
