BKL Practice Week of 12/17-12/22-UPDATED

By on 15 December, 2019 in BKL Training Schedule

Tuesday 12/17: Dryland or Classic at Mill River Park

The Range is not going to be open to us for skiing tomorrow, but we are hoping that they will be good to go on Thursday.

We are supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow throughout the day tomorrow, and with frozen ground, we should be able to ski on very little in the fields at Mill River Park. Bring your classic equipment (no-wax if you have it) and your running sneakers just in case. I will bring wax and a bench for those who will need wax. We will end when it gets dark (4:45/5 pm). Remember that there is no inside space to warm up at Mill River Park.

Thursday 12/19: Check back before you leave for changes!

Jack Rabbits, Arctic Foxes, Racers & MS Racers: Classic at the Range

We are going to take advantage of cold temperatures and fresh snow and go classic again. Everyone should meet inside today due to the cold (dress extra warmly). Racers and others with waxable skis will get waxed up inside.

Saturday 12/22: Racers & MS Racers

Skate at Craftsbury Outdoor Center, 11 AM- 12:3o PM.

Coach Rosemary is in Waterville this weekend so Coach Jen will lead the charge!  Meet her at the Touring Center at 11 AM. Racers are responsible for purchasing a trail pass ($5) or a season membership.

BKL Program Starts Dec. 3!

By on 17 November, 2019 in BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

Get the kids’ skis dusted off and make sure those boots and poles fit because the snow is here early and BKL practice begins at the Range on Tuesday Dec. 3!  All groups should meet inside the Walker Building this first day. Kids will meet their coaches, we’ll do a few intro words and games and get out to ski if there is snow, or get out for some dryland & games in our sneakers if there is no snow. Check the website (BKL Weekly Training Schedule ) to confirm the technique (classic or skate) and practice plans.
