This is an archive of emails for the BKL 2 and 3 Day program for the 2015-2016 season and earlier.
- Practice Plan for Tuesday, 3-3-15 March 2, 2015
Information for the 2&3 Day Program:
Location: Oak Hill Time: 3:30-5:00 Technique: classic Wax Recommendation: V45 special purple Upcoming Race: BKL Festival. See below. Notes:
- Thanks to all for the truly wonderful day at Strafford on Sunday. A shout out to Strafford for hosting such a mellow, fun event. We had TONS of skiers (new and experienced) and parents (woohoo!) participating. That was just amazing. Our club has some great mojo out there and we are so happy to be part of it. Let’s keep it going at the Festival!
- It’s sad but true that Thursday will be our last official practice. We’ll plan on sending off the 8th graders with our recently-traditional farewell. Feel free to join us for the last part of practice for the fun. More details on timing to come in Wednesday’s email. We will also have last day snacks….
- Skiers & parents:
Please join us for snacks after the last practice on Thursday. No need to sign-up, e-mail, bake or bring anything. We are providing the cocoa & food. Just come and enjoy! What an amazing season it has been. Thanks, Tracy & Jane - Again, there will not be practice on Friday this week.
- Festival: if you have registered skiers for the festival, please add your names to our contact sheet here and our volunteer sheet here. More details will come later this week for festival participants.
- Banquet to Celebrate This Most Awesome of Seasons! March 2, 2015
All,
Hard to believe our season is almost over! Our final practice will be this Thursday, March 5, the Festival is Saturday/Sunday, March 7/8, and then our celebratory banquet is scheduled for Wednesday, March 11, from 5:30-7:00 at the Black Center in Hanover. We hope as many of you as possible will be able to attend!
SIGN UP!:
The Banquet is potluck plus a bit of pizza ordered by the club. Needless to say, we eat well each year. Please let us know how you can help and what you will bring by going to the google doc here. Please do sign up since by signing up for food, you are also RSVPing to the event so we know how many people to expect.
SKI FOR KS FORMS:
Many of our skiers have been keeping track of the kilometers they have skied this season on a “Ski for K’s:” chart. Kids who have completed ski for k’s sheets this season should bring their sheet to the banquet to receive a pin. If you haven’t completed a sheet, it’s not too late. Go to the Ski for Ks tab on our site here to print one out. Then complete it and bring it in. You and your skiers can look back at the calendar and figure out a good estimate of how far they have skied. Also, please go to this form to let us know how many kilometers your child skied so we can be prepared with the correct number of pins.
DONATE USED SKIS:
If you have any used skis that you are willing to donate to our program for the use of future FS skiers, please bring them to the banquet. We are looking for combi, classic and skate skis as well as waxless for the One Day program. We will collect them and have them ready next season for interested families.
QUESTIONS?

…about the meaning of life or anything else: email us at bkl.@fordsayre.org
Many thanks to Ursula Slate (Great and Elsa Bolinger’s mom) for organizing us for the third year in a row. We couldn’t do this without her!
Hope to see you there!
Ashley and Peter

The last email about Friday’s practice was clearly meant for the three day skiers only! Sorry ’bout that.
