Masters Skiing
As we approach the end of the skis season club resources indicate that we need to cut back on coaching staff. However, we will still be having regular T/TH ski sessions – just with more skiing and less technique coaching. With the exception of this Tuesday we will have a coach for the early Masters as we have done all season but the 6 pm slot will have 2 to 3 coaches on Tuesdays and one coach on Thursday. This Tuesday 2/26 the Early Session Masters are welcome to join with the BK kids for a classic ski tour at Bolton Valley. 11 Am – 1 PM.
It’s now time to incorporate all the knowledge gained from the MNC coaches in your ski workouts. Take this opportunity to ski a lot and focus on one or two things per session to improve your skiing.
Tuesday – Skate Skiing
Thursday – Your choice
BK SKIING 3/26-3/28
VACATION WEEK SKIING
We are mixing things up a bit for this week.
- Tuesday – 11 AM – 1 PM CLASSIC SKI at Bolton Valley Nordic Center. Present a pass from any VT nordic center and you get a complimentary pass at Bolton for the day. If you do not have one pay the special MNC group rate of $6.
- Wednesday – BONUS DAY – 1 PM – 3:30 PM SKATE SKI at Craftsbury. We need a few parents organize and help with making hot chocolate at Charley’s Cabin. Please contact Rick if you can help.
- Thursday – Back at the range – SKATE SKI normal time 3:30 – 5:00.

Weekend Wax Recommendation
Saturday – Silver Fox Trot
BKL: Glide wax for temps in the high 20s, Swix CH8 or LF8 if you have it.
Masters/High School: CH or LF8 with some CH or LF10 mixed in
Sunday – Stowe Derby
Skate – Swix CH, LF, or HF 8
Classic – Temps will be a little warmer so glide wax with 8 mixed with some 10. For kick wax, prep your skis with an ironed in green binder. The kick will likely be warm hard wax (Toko Yellow, Swix Extra Violet, or a Swix VR60-70).
