Feb 12 - skiing is on for today: classic.
Bill Koch is about learning to have fun on cross-country skis. The Memphremagog BK Club meets on Tuesday afternoons (3:30 PM) at the Primeau section of MSTF trails, 3892 Darling Hill Rd, Derby.
Lots of Rentals left!
Prices this year are :
Rentals: $15 Registration: $5 Please join MSTF as a family, as they are grooming the trails we use! ($35 per year per family pass!)
Please return any of last years’ rentals to the Primeau’s ASAP. Ski rentals cannot be obtained during ski practices!!! We will again credit donations of good quality ski equipment. Donated gear will count full credit towards rental equipment. It is entirely up to my discretion to decide which equipment is worth accepting. The equipment breakage fee will be the same as the rental fee (if the break is really due to faulty equipment, there is no fee.)
I would appreciate volunteer or three to get word to some of the local schools– either a blurb in their newsletters or a separate announcement – I have many examples that I can share. I am already taking care of the Derby and Newport City schools, but could use help with UCA, Sacred Heart, and maybe Holland, Newport City… Sheila can you post it with the home school network.
Calendar: HS and BK Race here on Feb 2 - come on down! MSTF Marathon Ski Tour, Feb 9 – 10 or 25 Km – our own event- will start at Primeau trails and finish at IROC.
2008 Bill Koch Festival, Mar 1-2, Gunstock Nordic in Gilford, NH.
The Memphremagog Ski Touring Foundation, MSTF.net , is going strong with some new trails. If you want to join, help, donate time or money, or just find out more, contact Peter (766-8002) or Bob P.
A word about skiing with younger kids (3-6): This works best if you love to ski, and you want to bring your young child along with you. Keep it short, and be prepared to change your plans. We will always offer programming for tots but it doesn’t always work!
Remember, Bill Koch is a family club, not just an after-school Program! Get out on the snow and use the season’s events to ski at some new places!
