Tuesday: Everyone Classic
*If you have waxable skis, clean your kick zone before you come! We may be putting on klister today and we need a clean kick zone.
Here’s a video on how to clean your kick zone from TOKO: Cleaning the Gripzone You can use any scraper you have (a putty knife works well) and you can use a paper towel instead of “baseTex”. If you don’t have wax remover, don’t fret. Just scraping off the old wax will help.
Thursday: Skate
Sunday: Racers and MS Racers: Practice at RIKERT
Time: 1:30-3 pm Technique: Skate
Particulars- Everyone needs to buy their own trail pass, but if you have a season pass anywhere else, you can get a free reciprocal pass! Instead of focussing on technique today, we will focus on getting in some distance. We will go in search of the cabin and then find some wicked fun downhills!
It will be a busy day at Rikert- drive in and do a drop off of equipment and kids and then go park (you’ll most likely be parking across the road). In fact, you might want to carpool! Find Coach Rosemary at the MNC Tent (I’ll be helping wax for the Junior Qualifier in the morning). Email Rosemary to let her know you are coming so we don’t take off without you!
An Option: Craftsbury Marathon 16km BKL-either Saturday or Sunday
This is an opportunity for older BKLers who want to challenge themselves at going 16km and have a chaperone who can accompany them. You can choose Saturday’s Classic or Sunday’s Skate race. Registration is online at SKIREG and both the BKLer and the chaperone must register. There will be no MNC coaching at these races.
