The MNC BKL RACE TEAM is for every young skier who loves skiing fast, challenging themselves and wants to ski better! While all skiers are encouraged to participate in local BKL races, racing is not required… our focus is on speed, fun, fitness and camaraderie!
We have has several paid and volunteer coaches so we are able to make small, flexible groups by age, ability and confidence. We are fortunate to be able to train on the world class trails at the Ethan Allen Biathlon Range in Jericho where snow making, lights and superb grooming provide optimal skiing conditions.
Younger and newer skiers have a focus on improving their technique and fitness through games, challenges and fun and may opt to join the older more experienced skiers at any time.
Our older and more experienced skiers have progressed up through the program and generally have more speed skiing, focused technique work continuous skiing. There is always a mix of games and challenges integrated with a focus on improving technique.
Races are very low key events that emphasize a supportive competition environment. While racing is encouraged, it is not required and families choose where & when they want to race. The high points of the season are the MNC Duathlon, the Stowe Mini Marathon and the BKL Festival.
Our skiing is evenly split between classic and skate techniques with training in progressions and drills to ensure good skiing skills. At every level, we build technique, skills, joy and a passion for skiing on a foundation of games, challenges and speed.
