I don't know about you, but coming into the Budd Visitor Center yesterday and seeing folks I haven't seen since last ski season ended, felt really nice. The lingering smell of wood smoke, rosy-cheeked children coming and going, and people happily chatting with old friends and new - that's what Notchview is in winter, and I, for one, love it. I'm glad it's finally Bill Koch season once again.
So far no snow. Kind of a bummer, but in the true spirit of our Bill Koch club we made the most of it. Yesterday we got the low down on all things club related and then the kiddos and their coaches set out for the field to play some games. We have over 90 children enrolled this year! And even though many families couldn't make it to our meeting yesterday there were still a BUNCH of people of all ages running around out there. Here's a look at some of the fun..
I don't know anything about other Bill Koch groups around New England, but I do know that our group is pretty special. A big thank you to our wonderful group of coaches who are committed each week to helping our kids learn to ski and making sure they have fun doing it. And thank you to all the amazing parents who are willing to lend a hand whenever and wherever needed. And let's not forget the tireless crew who has dedicated countless hours to pulling everything together to make this season happen. THANK YOU!
If you're new to our club, welcome. I know it won't take long for you to see what a good thing we have going here. Jump right in, sign up to help, get involved. You'll be glad you did. There really is no community quite like the Nordic ski community at Notchview. :)
Until next time, THINK SNOW!
