Intrepid Skiers, Mother Nature is not making it easy for us to gather to ski as a group BUT there is very good local skiing to be had.  Many of our local meadows have set up for perfect crust skiing.  I just spent 45 minutes classic skiing on waxless skis at our house and it was fantastic!  So while we do not have an official practice today why not go find a meadow to ski on? If you have no access to a meadow near your home then any and all could ski at our local meadows by parking carefully at the turnaround at the end of Happy Hill Road in Norwich or along our driveway at 160 Happy Hill. So get out there and email us a picture of your meadow adventure! -Coach PeterContinue reading →

We are sorry have to cancel practice today. Garipay has not been and will not be groomed due to water and ice. Oak Hill is as yet an unknown. Hope everyone can get outside in some capacity.

Cross your fingers for Thursday!

For safety reasons, we need to CANCEL practice today (January 20).

The Garipay Fields have turned to a sheet of ice, and Dartmouth does not plan to groom Garipay today due to ice and water on the trails.

Hello 1-day a week BKL families,

Last night’s rain was disappointing, but we think we still have enough snow to get around Garipay!  As of today, Dartmouth is planning on grooming Garipay on Tuesday morning, which will minimize the potentially icy conditions.

Your children all deserve a huge round of applause for braving all sorts of conditions this year… Rain, wind, cold temperatures, ice, and minimal snow.

Location:	Garipay Field
Time:	3:30-4:30
Technique:	Classic

Notes:

1. JOIN OUR SNACK CELEBRATION, starting at 4:30! Thank you for those who have volunteered to bring something. Even if you didn’t sign up, please feel free to bring something to share if you able. Please sign out your child, and THEN join the snack celebration. Meet your child’s coaches and other parents and skiers! We are hoping to have all of the BKL skiers at Garipay Field tomorrow (1-day, 2-day, and 3-day a week programs), so it will be a great opportunity to have our full K-8 skiing community come together in one place! Be prepared for a full parking lot!
2. APPROPRIATE CLOTHING: Temps are predicted at 20 F, with winds around 8 MPH. PLEASE send your children dressed in non-cotton layers and make sure they have dry, warm, non-cotton socks (e.g. SmartWool). Please minimize their exposed skin. A buff covering their neck and cheeks will be great – and you might cover the rest of their face in a lotion to prevent it from getting chapped.
