Tuesday  3/3 classic skiing.

PENGUINS WILL BE ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK INSTEAD OF TUESDAY

BK: Meet inside to get your skis waxed – most of the kids are getting quite good at doing this themselves now but parent helpers are welcome and encouraged. BK will be focusing on some final prep for the BK Festival!  BK Racing Team: Start off with two laps of the short loop – NO POLES.

Masters: We will follow up on tempo changes that we did a couple of weeks ago and work on terrain based transitions along with just getting in some good skiing

Thursday 3/5 Skate Skiing

BK: Easy fun day with some games.  We want you to feel rested and fired up for the Festival.

Masters: Relays – please signup for inside the Walker Building when you arrive.  Random  3-person teams (one from each group) for a fun and completely NOT serious relay.

Since many of our families are off traveling for the week of school break we have decided that there will be no BK ski practices this week but there will be 6PM Masters skiing at the range as usual. 3:30 Masters skiers are welcome to ski with the 6 PM group. We encourage all BK skiers to get out and ski with family and friends this week. Maybe try some back-country or head to the slopes for some alpine or tele-skiing.  Recharge your batteries and come back next week with lots of energy as we get ready of the 2015 BK Festival. The theme this year is “The Spirit of Winter.” Get creative and have some thing to wear at the BK Festival parade of athletes!
