Skate Week!

Tuesday 3/12: Penguins Classic, Everyone else Skate

Penguins- Last Day of Practice

Thursday 3/14: Skate

Awards Day! Bring some snacks to share for our party! We’ll play games on skis and then go in to do our awards.

**Check the website before you go today because it is supposed to be warm and rain, which could mean the Range will close. If it closes, we will do our awards on Tuesday 3/19 in conjunction with UVM Fun Day.

**Note- I changed our last day of practice to 3/19 so we could get in the always popular, UVM Fun Day!

UVM BKL Fun Day & Last BKL Day

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 3 March, 2019 in

It’s Official! UVM Fun Day is when UVM’s Division 1 Nordic Ski Team comes and sets up some fun activities for us and we all get to ski and play with Catamounts! This is always a lot of fun! Don’t miss it! Regular BKL practice time: 3:45- 5:15. If we have to postpone our awards day, we will also do that on this day.

BKL Craftsbury Day!

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 28 February, 2019 in BKL Race Blog

Tessa, Dylan, Mia, Pippa, Carly and Virginia top the hill!

It was a cold day for our trip up to Craftsbury this year. Seven hardy BKLers bundled up, waxed their classic skis and headed out on Ruthie’s Run to enjoy the beautiful classic tracks and trails at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. It is such a beautiful place to ski and the grooming is always perfect!

We found ourselves back at the Center just in time for lunch with big appetites! All sorts of food appeared and quickly disappeared! After lunch, this hardy bunch was ready for more so we switched to skate skis and headed out for more fun. Coach Rosemary and Coach Emilie set up cones on Chip Hill and we practiced our slalom and seeing how far we could glide. We even did a slalom down and back up relay! After that, we played on snow-making hills and rollers and had a relay race over them all! A fun day!

Ripley wore himself out!

We will play games, present awards & celebrate with a party. Potluck snacks! Everybody bring something!

This is our last “Official” practice. The Range will still be open for skiing on Tuesdays and Thursdays as long as the snow holds out and Rosemary will be there to ski with kids unless noted on the BKL training schedule.
