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.

Saturday 12/15: Racers: Skate
We will meet at Rikert Touring Center in Ripton from 10 to 11:30 am. There is a High School & Middle School race happening. Most MS Racers will be racing and the rest of us will do a ski practice and then watch and cheer on those racing if there is time. Meet me at 10 AM outside the Touring Center. The parking lot close to the Touring Center will probably be full, so parents may want to drop off kids and equipment by the Touring Center before parking in the overflow lot across the road. Kids will need to buy their own trail pass. I will email if plans or times change.
