BKL Practice Week of 1/22/18

The Range: Marines in the Walker Building again this week. Put boots on and leave gear in your cars if possible. Kids can use the bathrooms and warm up inside if needed, but let’s keep it to a minimum. Everyone did a great job with this last week- Thanks and keep it up!

We are not yet sure if the government shut-down is affecting the Range. We will arrange alternative plans if needed. This is a good week to check the website before practice!

2 & 3 Day Skiers:

Tuesday: Range closed and rain expected. Practice cancelled.

Thursday: SKATE!  Temps are supposed to cool down Wed. night and conditions should be fast! We will play a great game of Stones and have fun on fast downhills!

3 Day Skiers:

Saturday: Craftsbury Marathon BKL 15km! Register on www.skireg.com by Wednesday at 5 pm. Let Coach Rosemary know you are coming so we can make waxing plans. Race start: 9:20 am.

Friday Foxes:

Back at the Range this week. Weather looks good!  National Guard Biathletes may be on site training for their weekend races at the Range.

Sunday:  Open to Everyone: Mt. Top Paintball Biathlon Race!

This is a really fun, well-run event down at Mt. Top Cross-Country Center in Chittenden, Vt.  A favorite race for BKLers!  Time is subtracted for every shot you hit!  See the event page for details: Mt. Top Paintball

Registration on-line at www.skireg.com.

Next Week Feb. 4: Frost Mt. Relay

Race is Sunday at Rikert Touring Center (Ripton). One skier goes classic, the other goes skate. If your child wants to do it, let’s start  finding relay partners.
