Toko Rep Dave Boucher will be on hand and will do a wax clinic during BKL practice for the kids and their parents. Older kids will learn how to hot wax their skis, while younger kids will learn to apply kick wax. Dave will also be available to answer any questions you may have on wax products that you can order from Toko. In addition, he is going to push back the deadline for Toko orders to Dec. 7 so that you can get info on products from him at the wax clinic.

BKL Program Starts Tuesday, Nov. 28th!
Snow Leopards, Jackrabbits (2-3 Day) & Penguins
Tuesday: We will meet inside the Walker Building at the Range to get started. Most likely we will be on foot (wear your sneakers) and we will do some dryland ski drills and play lots of games. Dress in layers and bring a full water bottle.
Thursday: Wear your sneakers again and bring shorter classic poles that you can run with (the poles you used last year or the year before are probably about right). We’ll do some bounding and running with poles and play more games! Parents will attend the parent meeting which starts at 4:45 and we will all go until 5:30 on this day.
3-day Program Skiers: Tentative Plan: Saturday at Craftsbury, 10-11:30 on snow. Skate technique.
