BKL Training Week of 12/18

2 & 3 day skiers:

We are hoping to have some Guest Coaches join us this week!

Tuesday 12/19: Skate Technique.

Thursday 12/21: Classic Technique & Hot Cocoa & Snack Day!

Look for the wax benches and send your kids with skis there to get waxed. Any parents who can, please help the kids get waxed! It helps to get to the Range EARLY!
EVERYONE bring water jugs/bottles if you can to contribute to the Hot Cocoa (Water at the Range is not potable). I will bring herb tea as an option.
Bring a snack to share- cookies, gorp, fruit, gluten free snacks are great – we have a couple of gluten free kids and at least one nut allergy so please label any baked goods accordingly. Parents with allergic kids should monitor their kids’ snacks.
If you can help with putting out the snacks and making the hot cocoa, please e-mail Rosemary at sheacobb19@gmail.com

Saturday (3-day skiers): No practice this weekend. Ski on your own if you can!

Friday Foxes

More fun at the Range!

People who picked up rentals: Please label your equipment by applying a piece of painter’s (preferable) or masking tape to each ski, boot and pole and writing your child’s name on it. About ten of the kids have identical equipment!

BKL Training Week of 12/11

Snow Leopards, Jackrabbits (2-3 Day) & Penguins

There is snow in the forecast! Check out the National Weather Service Forecast for Jericho. We are hoping to get on snow this week!

Tuesday: It’s supposed to snow much of the day. Travel could be unsafe. We will have coaches at the Range unless we post otherwise, so check the website before you leave to be sure nothing has changed! Regardless, it is always up to you to decide whether or not travel from your area to the Range is safe enough for you to make the trip.

We will plan to ski, SKATE technique (Penguins: classic). Bring Skate equipment, but also bring running shoes, just in case! If you have old skis or “rock” skis, you might want to bring those.

Thursday: Definite plan is to ski, SKATE technique! It will be cold, so bundle your kids. We need some parents to stay inside and help & monitor kids that coaches send in to warm up. Please e-mail me at sheacobb19@gmail.com if you can help out!

Saturday: Classic technique, long easy distance ski at Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe. They got over a foot of snow! Should be great! Meet at 9:30 to get waxed and ready, on snow by 10:00.
