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

BKL Practices Week of 12/15/2020

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 13 December, 2020 in BKL Race Blog

I hope some of the kids got out on snow this past week before the melt-down! This week will be back to seasonable cold temps but there is no snow in the forecast until the weekend. I have put together a number of Dryland and On-Snow options for all groups. In our area, Sleepy Hollow looks the most promising for on-snow time this week. They have a 300 meter loop and will be able to make and spread more snow this week. If you hear about snow in the mountains, be sure to check the MNC website for conditions at Bolton, which will probably be skiable again with just a few inches of snow. Otherwise, I’ve got some dryland activities for you: Playground Agility and a Nature Hunt for Jack Rabbits and Penguins and Strength BINGO, a Scavenger Hunt and a V-1 focus workout for Arctic Foxes and Racers (plus on-snow options in case you can get on snow). As always, please feel free to email me with questions and send me photos I can post! Enjoy!

The Search for Penny the Penguin!

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 13 December, 2020 in BKL Race Blog

While Arctic Foxes and Racers searched for a Treasure Box in Richmond this past week, Penguins and Jack Rabbits were encouraged to go for a hunt on the Honey Hollow Trail to find Penny the Penguin. A couple of you found her too! Penny left her spot on the HH Trail today for a well-earned rest but she will be back. Who knows where she’ll turn up next?

Bella found Penny!

Oliver and Finn found Penny too!

BKL Virtual Practices Week of 12/01/20

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 29 November, 2020 in BKL Training Schedule

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!
