Support US Skiing!

I am writing to ask for your help in supporting the National Nordic Foundation. Long under-funded, US nordic skiers are now being supported by a grassroots organization helping support athlete development at all levels.

Consider donating under the links below for Bill and Henry Harmeyer and there is a chance your donation could be more than quadrupled!!! Junior skiers across the country are trying to raise $15,000. If they are able to raise the $15,000 an anonymous donor will give a matching $50,000! This kind of support will go a long way and we only have a few weeks left.

Please take a minute to check out their donation pages and watch the movie they produced supporting the NNF on Bill’s page.

Nordic skiing has never been stronger in the US and organizations like the NNF are helping produce fantastic roll models for American youth and a healthy lifestyle.

And thank you very much! Any amount counts toward the goal. If you can make a donation via your business or pass it on to those you know.

Junior Photos and Bolton Time Trial Results

By Adam Terko on 26 October, 2013 in BKL Jackrabbits, Junior Blog

This past week of training was a tough one! We kicked things off on Tuesday at the UVM Research Forest in Jericho for a sustained bounding workout. The sun was shining but there was a chill in the air and lots of leaves on the ground. Bounding is a great workout because it is so similar to skiing; it uses more muscles than just running. Thursday we did some specific strength on a dreary afternoon at Mud Pond. And this morning we hosted another Central Vermont Coop Series event at Bolton. In spite of several inches of snow, approx 25 athletes ran up the mountain! Hopefully more photos coming from that – my phone died. The conditions probably slowed the course down by 1-3 minutes, so we can’t really compare today’s times to times from September. It was a great morning with lots of excitement for winter and a wide variety of athletes and age groups — from age 11 to 50+.
