A small but exuberant group of MNC BKL skiers joined Coach Rosemary and Coach Jen for a New Year’s Day ski at Craftsbury. The skiing was surprisingly decent, despite the recent rain, and Craftsbury still has great snow coverage, even on their natural snow terrain. Skiers from all over the US were trickling in at Craftsbury today to preview the courses for US Senior Nationals, which start on Thursday. Most of us will be back at school or work this week, but if you have some time and want to catch some great skiing and get in a little exercise as well- head to Craftsbury for the skiing and the spectating!

Racers Virginia, Anna, Carly, Julia, Niko, Taylor, Carl, Gretta and Kate met at Craftsbury for practice and an informal Time Trial on Saturday. This is a great thing to do before the actual races begin. We practiced warming up for a race and then chose technique goals to work on while racing. We all learned a few things and it was good to get the “kinks out” and get used to what it feels like to go really fast on a course. Great job to all these BKL Racers!
