  • ACTION ITEM! NENSA Membership Numbers Needed January 14, 2016

    Dear 2&3 day Families,

    If this is your child’s first year in the 2&3 Day Program, you can ignore this message.

    Otherwise, we need your help! It will take less than 5 minutes!

    Every year we include a NENSA membership fee in our program fee for each skier. We then collect all our skiers’ names and send them to NENSA with a check for the entire group of skiers. Past skiers’ memberships get updated and new skiers’ get new memberships.

    This year, NENSA has asked for our help since they are light on staff. They would like us to provide the NENSA numbers of skiers who have been members in the past.

    If your child skied in our program in the past, then she/he already has a NENSA membership number and we ask that you share it with us by completing this google form:

    https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QgwNZeuRIOobUD37qOTjlTWnhEjQr7DMN7jlp4MP0Pg/viewform?usp=send_form

    If you don’t know your child’s NENSA number, go to the NENSA site here:

    https://www.nensa.net/reg/?io_view=membership.login

    Log in to your account and find the membership number there.

    We know this is a hassle. Thanks for your help. We have never been asked for this information before but we will make sure to include it in our registration process next year for your (and our) convenience.

    Ashley and Peter

  • Plan for Thursday 1-14-16 January 13, 2016

    INFORMATION FOR THE 2&3 DAY PROGRAM:

    Location:   Strafford Nordic Center, Strafford, VT
    Time:  3:45-4:45
    Technique:  skate
    Wax Recommendation:  NA
    Upcoming Event/Race:  Nothing this weekend for BKL

    NOTES: 

    While last night’s snow certainly made it look a lot more wintry out there, the local skiing is unfortunately still very icy/crusty right underneath the surface. All reports agree that it is not going to be safe/fun/good for tomorrow anywhere in Hanover/Norwich.

    For those who can make the drive, we will be having a very informal, optional practice with a smaller number of coaches at the Strafford Nordic Center. Coaches will be there to ski with the kids between 3:45 and 4:45, and those who come should have an adventurous spirit as none of the coaches has skied the conditions yet.  Please note that the conditions may be challenging for beginner skiers. Of course, you should  feel no pressure whatsoever to make the drive if the logistics don’t work. 

    Here’s to making the most of what we’ve got!

  • Practice CANCELLED for 1/12/16: 1-day a week Program January 11, 2016

    Dear Parents and Guardians,

    I regret to say that I am cancelling tomorrow’s ski practice for the 1-day a week BKL program. The trails (skiing and running) are very icy and dangerous, and an ideal indoor activity space is unavailable for our program. Let’s hope for a snowy week ahead!

    Best wishes,

    Aricca; BKL.One.Day@FordSayre.org; cell: 603-715-7233

     

    Please note: If you have a child enrolled in the 2-day a week BKL program, they will be meeting tomorrow at the Marion Cross School in Norwich, VT.
