We’ve had an excellent fall of training (aside from a miserably cold and rainy bike ride last Saturday). The foliage is looking awesome and the skiers are having some fun while working very hard.

Junior Photos
Thanks to Gary Solow for snapping some photos last week at the Range. Athletes were doing a skate rollerski which included some 30-second speeds.
Junior Photo Roundup!!
We are a few weeks into summer training and here is a glimpse of some of the fun things we’ve been up to:
Junior / BKL Photo Roundup
Last week was a lot of fun! We had a huge crew of people out jumping on Tuesday, then an exciting day of games and relays with the UVM Ski Team on Thursday. Thanks so much to UVM Coach Patrick Weaver and atheltes Cole Morgan, Jack Hegman, Rogan Brown, Maggie WIlliams, Madison, Marion Woods and Lukas Adamowicz for coming out and skiing with us!
Highlight of the day last Thursday was the relay races which teamed up BKL, Juniors and UVM skiers. Instead of a boring “tag” or handoff of a baton, we used the UVM jackets/vests as the “baton” and skiers had to exhange them in the tag zone. With a nice little jump and some sharp corners there was a lot of thrills and spills.
On Saturday a few of us went for an adventure tour up the Catamount Trail. Normally you’d expect crust skiing at this time of year but it was closer to powder — and still lots of snow!
Perfect conditions for Jumping!
The Range is home to an old alpine slope that is unused nowadays. Dan Westover of the National Guard was kind enough to groom across the road and and nice GS-style run down the slope for us to use yesterday. Some of us built jumps in the non-groomed areas since the powder landing was deep and soft. THe BKL’ers, Juniors and many parents got to watch as the athletes took flight. Pretty cool.
The fun continues tomorrow (Thurs) when we join the BKL, Juniors and UVM ski team for some fun relays and perhaps some more jumping!
