There is a 700 m loop available for skiing today. Dress warm!

Well, once again skiing is questionable at the range but cold weather comes back tonight so please check here for updates as we find out if there is enough snow to ski on Tuesday and Thursday.

Here’s what we have on the schedule for the week as long as conditions allow.

Tuesday 1/5
BK – skate skiing.  Kids 12 and older – BIATHLON DAY with the EABC so make sure you have gloves that you can use for shooting.  Mittens don’t work well with biathlon rifles.

Masters – skate skiing – technique work and as much time skiing as possible

Thursday 1/7 – BK and Masters will classic ski. Wax recommendations will be posted on Wednesday.

BK -Classic skiing – Parent waxing helpers that want to continue learning and helping – meet coaches Rick and Anna as soon as you arrive in the Walker Building and you will help kick-wax for the kids today. ALL skiers – please come in and get wax help as soon as you arrive please do not wait until we are already to ski to let us know your wax isn’t working.

Masters – Classic skiing.  Wax help inside the Walker Building if you need it. We will work on racing tips to get ready for the Bogburn on Saturday.

BK and Early Masters at Craftsbury on Tuesday 10:30 with skate skis

Dan is making snow tonight (Monday) and it looks like there will be a minimum of 500 m out and back trail and possibly a longer loop. So the range will be available by 5:45 for Masters to ski.  Due to the holiday schedules won’t have our usual contingent of coaches but you are welcome to come and ski.

FAMILY SKI AT TRAPPS  – 10 AM 12/26/14

I spoke with the XC folks at Trapp’s this morning and the trails survived the rain.  Please meet me at the Nordic Center by 10 AM.  Once I have an accurate count I will go in and buy all the tickets at once and then collect $ from everyone. So please bring cash or a check book.

$19 adult and $7 for those under 18.

Today they say the classic is good on red klister or no-wax skis and although there may be some thin spots all 65 km are open today. Feel free to choose whichever technique you prefer or bring both skate and classic. On my list right now we have about 20 people that have expressed an interest in going.
