Label Your Equipment!

With high school teams, MNC juniors, masters, biathletes and up to 90 BKLers all using the Range, it’s likely that someone else will have equipment that looks a lot like yours and that your equipment will get mistaken and taken home by someone else. The solution? Labels!! Here are some ideas:

If you rent:

Get some Painter’s tape or masking tape that is easily removable at the end of the season and label skis, boots and poles with your child’s name in permanent marker.

If you own:

*Permanent marker on masking tape works. Permanent marker on skis & boots works well too but is harder to remove.

*Mailing labels. Sometimes hard to read because of small sprint, but so easy!

*Decorative duct tape especially on poles will make your child’s equipment easily recognizable. We take off our poles and leave them all together a lot so it’s important that your child can recognize their own.

UVM Fun Day!

An afternoon of fun in the sun with the UVM Ski Cats!

Ahh sunshine! We all relished in it last Tuesday when the UVM Cats came to ski with us! It was one of those perfect March ski days- not too warm, but sunny and just warm enough to soften things up a little so it wasn’t icy at all. MNC graduates Henry Harmeyer and Greg Burt were among the Cats who came to ski with us. Both these guys grew up skiing BKL with MNC and attended many UVM Fun Days as BKLers. What a great thing it was to see them sharing their enthusiasm and love for skiing! They and their team mates built an awesome Nordic Cross course with a little jump for us, played sharks and minnows with us and taught us a new game- Catch the Wolf! (We will be sure to add that one to our repertoire next year). Thanks so much UVM Nordic Ski Team and Head Coach Pat Weaver!
