Friday Fox Update 2/10 – Practice at Range

By on 9 February, 2017 in BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

What a great ski last week at UCS!! So glad to see everyone enjoying the amazing snow and incredible views on our trek to Casey’s Hill.  Also, we had a great Friday Fox crew join us at the Range Ramble on Sat and get a fun race under their belts. Congrats to all of that crew!

Tomorrow, unfortunately mother nature has thrown us another curve ball, and we are dealing with powder covered ice and very cold temps.  We will meet at the range tomorrow at 3:45, as the snow conditions will be much safer there, and we will end early at 4:45.  It will be very cold and a bit windy tomorrow (possible projection of -5 wind chill)!  Please wear face masks and warm mittens!!  The building is supposed to be open tomorrow so weshould have a warming space.

Please do not dbl park or park anywhere near the rd on the upper, trailside parking lot.  We did get some frustrated feedback from range personnel at our last range practice. The lower parking lot is to be used instead, you can walk through the tunnel to get to the building.

Thanks again for all the help parents. See you tomorrow.

Mt. Top Paintball BKL Race

By on 5 February, 2017 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog

Twelve MNC skiers and their faithful parents made the trip down to Chittenden for this year’s Mt. Top Paintball Race. This is a kid’s biathlon race where skiers ski a loop, then come into a range and shoot five shots at a target with a paintball rifle. SPLAT! The older you are, the more loops you get to ski and the more times you get to visit the range and shoot. In this event, you get 10 seconds deducted from your time for every shot you hit! FUN!

Brady in the Range. Brady hit 4 targets and skied very fast, but another kid skied fast and hit 5 shots and when the times computed, Brady had missed first place by one tenth of a second! THAT’s Biathlon for you!

imageThese three speedy gals swept the 1/2 podium! (Don’t you love the socks?!)

Crosby Waite and his sister Lilly both pulled a double on their first weekend of racing and skied the Range Ramble and Paintball! These two are fast AND tough!

The 5/6 girls did remarkably well with Virginia leading the crew, placing first with ten hits!

Carl Priganc and Taylor Carlson skied the boys 5/6 race and shot really well, both hitting ten shots and finishing well in a very competitive field. Biathlon could be in their futures!

More photos and results to be posted soon!
