BK This week and photos from last week

By Adam Terko on 1 December, 2013 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog

We hope everyone got out and enjoyed the good skiing this week. The man-made snow 1.5 km loop at Craftsbury is in great shape and many of the outer trails had thin coverage but were very skiable. We have also heard Trapps was open this weekend and Sleepy Hollow may have some skiing available too.

This week we are considering a couple of options depending on weather. If there is no snow at the range we are checking to see if we can ski on the fields at Mills Riverside Park in Underhill. If there is no snow in either place we will go to the range fro dry land ski activities. PLEASE CHECK THE BLOG FOR UPDATES BEFORE HEADING TO PRACTICE.

Thanks to Janet Wilson we have some BK pics from last week to share. Click on the link below.

BK Fall Friday Wrap-Up

By Adam Terko on 23 November, 2013 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog

Last Friday the BK group had it’s last gathering of the season at Mills Riverside Park. Although there was no snow it felt more like winter and we finished in the dark. We hope everyone enjoyed the dry-land activities and is looking forward to ski season as much as the coaches. We will be starting our WINTER PROGRAM next Tuesday 11/26 3:30 to 5:00 at the biathlon range. Please be prepared for both indoor and outdoor activities…put away the shorts and cotton T-shirts and make sure you have a hat, glovers and layers you can take off as needed. The water at the Walker Building is NOT POTABLE so bring water. All skiers need to have their MNC membership forms filled out online before participating in activities at the range.

Here are some more pics from the last few weeks.
