Mountain Camp Update 5/14

By Adam Terko on 14 May, 2020 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog

As of 5/14, Mountain Camp and Mini Mountain Camp are STILL ON.

Dates remain the same

Mountain Camp July 8-12 (Wed-Sun)

Mini Mountain Camp July 16-19 (Thurs-Sun)

However, in light of COVID-19 several changes have been made. Please read on:

Location Change

In order to eliminate travel across State lines, both Mountain Camp and Mini Mountain Camp have been relocated to Killington, VT. Lodging for both camps will be located at the base of Killington Resort, with training to take place on the numerous roads and trails of the area.

With Killington marking the intersection of the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail, hiking and trail running options are vast.

With two of the top mountain biking areas in the state (Green Mountain Trails and Pine Hill Park) there are great options for riding

Quiet roads in nearby Mendon, Chittenden, Bridgewater, and Pomfret are ideal for rollerskiing

Participation Restrictions

We ask that all participants at camp be Vermont residents, or athletes (for example college-age skiers) who have been living in Vermont for at least 2 weeks.

Pricing changes

Good news! Lodging and location changes have not increased costs. Camp pricing will remain equal or less than originally-planned.

Can I register and reserve my spot?

You can register for Mountain Camp and Mini Mountain Camp on the Registration page of the MNC website. The cost to register is currently still $0.00 as we will wait until June 1 to confirm that camp is still “on” pending and further COVID-19 developments or restrictions. Thank you for your understanding!

BKLers, Masters & Juniors: It’s time to register for the MNC Skiathlon!

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 16 February, 2020 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Our MNC Skiathlon is this Saturday, Feb. 22 at Sleepy Hollow in Huntington! We are hoping for a good turn-out for this fundraiser which supports our scholarship fund, so give it a try! Open Men & Women, Juniors and the “What The Heck I’ll Try It! Race” is in the morning and the BKL kids races are in the afternoon.

In a Skiathlon, racers ski a classic loop, transition to skate skis then ski a skate loop. Grades 1&2 ski a classic loop only. The “What the Heck…” race is a 5 km, your choice of technique and is designed for first timers who want to give racing a fun try and support the scholarship fund.

Registration: By Thursday midnight on SKIREG. Schedule on SKIREG as well. Day of Race registration also available for an increased fee (so sign-up early & SAVE $).

Contribute to the concession stand! Sign-up HERE

See you there!
