Junior Photos and Cool Ice Skiing Video

The weather has been crazy and a little depressing, but we had an awesome time skiing at the Range this past Tuesday. See the pic and video below of the skating rink that formed in the shooting area! Thursday we skied at Sleepy Hollow along with about 10,000 other athletes on a 1km loop of icy manmade. Not ideal but it was a good opportunity to have the Juniors interact with the older BKL skiers and have some fun with relays and doing the “mirror drill” in which pairs of skiers try to emulate each other’s technique. Today a small crew made the trek up to Craftsbury for a ski on the manmade loop. They have great coverage still on the manmade loop and they even had like 1″ of new snow this AM.
