- FS Nordic Registration Now Open! October 7, 2015
Post From 2 & 3 Day Nordic BKL Program:
REGISTRATION IS OPEN:
All registration is on-line. Please go to the FS site and click on registration or click here.
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE:
Please be aware that where the need exists, Ford Sayre grants exemption from payment of program fees. For more information, please contact Program Heads, Ashley and Peter Milliken, at BKL@fordsayre.org or call them at (802) 649-2159, or contact the FS Council Treasurer, Heather Grohbrugge, at Scholarship@FordSayre.org .

DARTMOUTH PASSES:
Dartmouth Trail passes are required for participation in the 2&3 Day program. Please purchase your skier’s pass through the Dartmouth Outing Club’s website or at the Occum Pond House. This year, the early bird discounted rate for Ford Sayre Families will be $290 if passes are purchased before November 7. Individual junior rates are $70 and adult rates are $125 if purchased before December 15. Rates increase after those dates. We are arranging to have a Dartmouth representative present on select dates at Oak Hill to hand out already-purchased passes and sell new ski passes. We will notify families of these dates when they have been set, but they will be after the early bird date. We appreciate your cooperation in supporting our relationship with Dartmouth by purchasing a pass ASAP. Information and the application form are available here. Note the form does not have the early bird FS rate on it, but the rate DOES apply. PLEASE MARK FORD SAYRE on your form so the center knows you are part of our team and make out your check in the appropriate amount.

A Message From the 2 & 3 Day Nordic BKL Program:
All,
The Ford Sayre Nordic BKL program focuses on the development of young skiers and aspires to teach kids to ski well while having fun and developing a lifelong love of the sport. For many Ford Sayre skiers this includes participating in races, and for some, ski racing becomes a passion.
For Ford Sayre alum Paddy Caldwell, racing has become such a passion that he has made the decision to pursue it full time as a member of the Stratton Mountain School T2 Team. Paddy had an outstanding season last year as a sophomore at Dartmouth, posting third place in a race at the National Championships and winning the NCAA skate race.
Watching one of our community members head into this competitive ski world will be exciting and we will be sharing news of Paddy’s ski season periodically on our website or through the Ford Sayre Junior Nordic Team Blog. You can find his first post of the season here on the JNT blog.
If you want to receive periodic email updates directly from Paddy, you can submit your contact information here.
You can also read Paddy’s letter and find instructions on supporting him over the coming year with a tax deductible donation here (scroll to the bottom of the page) or under the “Alums” tab on the JNT page.
We hope you’ll join us in wishing Paddy the best as he heads into the ski season!
Ashley and Peter
