14″ fresh snow at Bolton!
Adam and the Bolton Groomers have been out packing things in and there should be more terrain groomed plus lots of great backcountry to explore this week. Weather will be colder, so bundle up!
Don’t forget your headlamp!
Every child (& Penguins parent) really needs to bring & wear a headlamp. Sunset is now at 4:45 and by 5 pm, it’s really dark! We can’t take our groups out to explore longer fun trails if there aren’t enough kids with headlamps in the group. It’s a safety issue- kids get spread out skiing and the coach can’t see them if they are not lit up. Be sure to pack your child a headlamp and have them put it on or put it in their pocket when they get out of the car at practice.
Kids with waxable classic skis (Racers & some others):
It’s time to clean the kick wax off them. The weather will be colder this week and you need to get the warmer wax off. Here is a video on how to do it: Kick Waxing Basics (Start the video at the beginning for a tutorial on how to kick wax, start it at 5:30 to learn how to remove the wax). If you don’t have wax remover, don’t fret! Just scraping off the old wax with a putty knife will be sufficient this week.
