BE PART OF THE FIRST
NORDIC SKI CROSS EVENT IN NEW ENGLAND

Nordic BKL and JNT at the top of Holts Ledge

11/17/13 – A large group of kids and parents got together on a foggy Sunday morning to hike up the Holt’s Ledge trail at the Dartmouth Skiway to kick off the 2013-14 ski season. Spirits were high and treats were enjoyed at the top by the chairlift. The Junior Nordic team joined the group at the top to complete their workout.

Nordic Team Night at Omer and Bob’s  Sportshop
20 Hanover Street (on the Mall), Lebanon, NH

Team discounted prices on new ski equipment for the upcoming season. Many vendors (Fisher, Alpina, Atomic, Rossignol, Salomon, and Swix) will have reps there and Ford Sayre coaches/volunteers will be on hand to help families choose and fit skis, boots and poles properly.  It tends to be a busy night so come early.  If you cannot make it that night, Omer and Bob’s has always been kind about extending the team discount to purchases on other days as well.  Just tell them your child is with Ford Sayre.  Omer and Bob’s will be calling in their orders between October 14 and 17, so just make sure to get there before then.

The information night for all Ford Sayre ski programs will be on Thursday, October 17, 2013, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm in the Porter Community Room at the Montshire Museum in Norwich, Vt.
