- Snacks for All on Tuesday, January 20th January 16, 2015
Dear 1-day BKL families,
We hope to bring together the 1-day, 2-day, 3-day a week BKL skiers to have a snack celebration this Tuesday, January 20th after practice. There will be hot cocoa and yummy treats, so plan to stick around for a bit, enjoy the company of your peers, and celebrate the half-way point of our season!
Please bring something to share (homemade or store-bought), and use the sign-up genius link to let us know what you hope to bring! We have over 125 kids in the 1-day program! (I’ll bring hot cocoa, water, cups, baggies, and paper towels.)
To sign-up, go to: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0e4dadaf23a1fe3-bklsnack
You may drop-off your contribution at 3:30pm or bring it to the party. Even if you aren’t able to bring a snack to share this time, please plan to join us after practice, meet your child’s coach and fellow skiers, and have fun!
Thanks,
Aricca; Ph: 603-715-7233; bkl.one.day@fordsayre.org

Hello 1-day a week BKL families,
Tomorrow promises to be chilly, but we have snow and sunlight and are set to have fun!
Please remember, we consider the 1-day program as an introduction to skiing – and you should consider participation in all practices as optional. We love to see your children, but if you are concerned that they will be too cold tomorrow – we understand and will look forward to seeing your child on a warmer day!
Location: Garipay Field Time: 3:30-4:30 Technique: Classic Notes:
- DRESS APPROPRIATELY. Temps are predicted at 10 F. Warm kids are happy kids, so PLEASE send your children dressed in non-cotton layers and make sure they have dry, warm, non-cotton socks (e.g. SmartWool). Consider giving them toe warmers in their boots and hand warmers in their mittens, and you can put lotion on their faces to prevent them from getting chapped cheeks. We’ll have hot chocolate to warm them back up after practice, but please be on time for pick up at 4:30.
- DID YOUR CHILD GET HIS/HER BUFF? Now is the perfect time for your child to wear his or her new Ford Sayre buff!!! If your child has not yet received his or her buff, please pick it up from the box at the white table. … And, then put it on your child before practice (either around their neck – or their neck and head). (They are really versatile, warm, and useful!!!)
- VOLUNTEER! We need you! The Silver Fox Trot, our “home” race, is coming up on February 14, on Garipay Fields in Hanover. We often have over 200 kids as well as adults racing that day and we need all the volunteers we can get. If your child is racing, come help! If your child isn’t racing, come help and have your child watch. It is a great venue for spectators on and off skis. Go to this google form to sign up. Our goal is to get as many families participating as possible. And really, you don’t have to know anything about ski racing! You can volunteer to help with the BKL races (kids K-8th grades) or with the Eastern Cup Race at Oak Hill (ages 9th grade – masters).
- Practice CANCELLED for Tuesday, January 6: One day/week program January 5, 2015
Hello 1-day a week BKL families,
We are CANCELING practice for tomorrow, Tuesday, January 6th.
Safety is a primary concern for our program, and the icy trail conditions and forecast windchill will make for dangerous conditions tomorrow.
We look forward to reconvening next week – and hope that substantial snow arrives soon!
Happy New Year!

Hi all,
We are sorry to have to postpone the Ford Sayre Family Fun Races that were scheduled for New Year’s Day. The snow has not been cooperative and we’ve all agreed that it won’t be as much fun to have the family races on crusty ice!
Stay tuned. We’ll try to find another date for the event.
Cheers and cross your fingers for snow!
