It was really enthusing to return from our Fall Snow Camp and have a
group of 12 BKL skiers show up ready for a ski practice! We did a fun
dynamic warm-up followed by drills, some skill specific games including a
popcorn race, erg and obstacle, and capture the flag.
We
are traveling to Craftsbury to ski Friday and Saturday. Saturday's
Craftsbury Opener is likely to happen -- get in touch if you would like
to join us!
Don't be fooled like this toad was!! It's going to get cold and snow around here!

We
concluded practice with a Snow Poem with the kids and we finished the
reading with a shrill cheer, "LET IT SNOW." I think the shrill was so
sharp it cut the upper atmosphere and let the cold air in:)
And for info about this weekends races.
Snow Dance
Pillowy powder
Falls from the sky,
I gaze in wonder,
As the white flakes fly.
Dancing and swirling,
Through the air,
Like an aerial ballerina,
Without a care.
It lands on the leaves,
On the trees and the grass,
It is silently pretty,
But I know it won’t last.
But just for the moment,
I am taken away,
By the still quiet beauty,
That is here for the day.
