BKL Fall THURSDAY- On Snow Adventure!!

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 16 November, 2022 in BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

We are going for an early snow ski adventure! Peter Davis is rolling Tomasi’s Field which is next to Casey’s Hill in Underhill. The grass has been mowed very short so the 3-4 inches of snow we got on Wednesday should be enough to ski on. It will be fun to get on skis and check out Tomasi’s!

Time: 3:45 to 4:45 pm (come early and/or stay as long as you want)

Location: Tomasi Field/Casey’s Hill. 16 Mountain Rd., Underhill, VT 05489.

Parking: There is small lot for a few cars at the 16 Mountain Rd address by Casey’s Hill. If the lot fills up, drop off your kid(s) and go back and park at Underhill Central School. I have been told that it’s possible to ski through the school fields and then some other fields across the road to link up with Tomasi’s. We might be able to shuttle as well.

What to bring: Any skis are fine for today, but if you have a choice, bring some no-wax classic skis. I will bring some TOKO yellow for anyone who has waxables and needs wax. I am also going to throw my rock skate skis in the car just in case the skating is doable. Feel free to bring extra skis- it will be a good day to try things out!

BRING YOUR HEADLAMP!! It will definitely be dark when we finish.

See you there!

Looking for a fun active camp for your BKL-aged child this summer? There are a number of camps around the region and word has it that a number of them still have room. Most of these camps focus on fun, doing active adventures and introducing kids to rollerskiing. NENSA has put together a great list of camps and links and you can find it all HERE. Check it out!

NWVT BKL Mini-Fest!

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 27 February, 2022 in BKL Race Blog

Relays were the name of the game at this year’s NWVT BKL Mini-Fest held this past Sunday! Instigated during the pandemic last year, our NWVT District liked our mini-fest so much that we decided to do it again with a relay twist! The Frost Mountain Club at Rikert stepped up to the plate to host and organize the event. There was a lollipop race, age group relays and a mini-marathon to Bergen Cabin where skiers could warm up with hot chocolate and cookies. Luckily, last Friday’s snowstorm blessed Rikert with about 8 inches of powder and the skiing was great! We had a strong turn-out from Mansfield Nordic Club and some awesome skiing from Lollipop up through Grades 7/8!

Oliver and Bella with Hanna who led out all the races. Thank you Hanna!

Craftsbury Day!

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 27 February, 2022 in BKL Race Blog

The Wednesday during school vacation week is always Craftsbury Day for BKL. With about 130 kilometers of beautiful trails and impeccable grooming it is a mecca for cross-country skiers in the east and we are so lucky that it is within a 1.5 hour drive for most of us.

This year, a small but hearty crew of MNC BKLers met at Craftsbury, toured the trails, had lunch together and then finished the day with relay races. Fun was had by all and Coach Nancy’s cookies were delicious and greatly appreciated! Some pictures below.
