It was a long drive to Maine, and then a long drive each morning to the ski races. But everyone had a great time. Here are some photos to give you a little flavor.

This Sunday's Session and Potluck for March 7th
All,
The Bill Koch Festival is this weekend, in Maine, so several families will be away for that (including mine). In the past we have not had a session on the weekend of the festival (and last year the festival was at Notchview), but I don't see why that should be the case. It looks like it could be great conditions at Notchview. So unless you hear otherwise from any of the coaches in response to this email, you should plan on skiing on Sunday.
The games this past Sunday were a lot of fun, and I will ask Notchview to groom the field for us if the conditions allow, so it would be great to try to group up again to play after a little skiing.
Potluck - We are planning to have an end of season pot luck on Sunday, March 7th. Details will follow, but the plan will be to ski a bit if we can and then stick around for a potluck after.
Thanks.

Photos from Costume Day on Sunday
Here are a few photos from this Sunday's costume day. After a little skiing (in costumes), everyone gathered on the small patch of snow in the field for group games. It was great.
Silver Fox Trot
We had another great showing at the Silver Fox Trot in Hanover, NH, this weekend. Nine Berkshire Trails kids skied through the slushy corn snow.
I think this picture does a great job of showing what youth skiing is all about. Lily Z. is finishing the race up a tough hill, and three teammates are running up the hill alongside her, screaming and cheering with all their might!

Suits Are In! Online Festival Registration Closes Tomorrow Night
Our team suits are in - better late than never. Here is Oscar sporting his new team kit (which he will clearly be wearing for several seasons). If you ordered a suit and want to pick it up before the Silver Fox Trot, let me know.
Please note that online registration for the Festival closes tomorrow night.

Silver Fox Trot BKL Race/Costume Day Sunday
That was a nice session we had on Sunday, with surprisingly good skiing. Two announcements for this coming weekend.
Silver Fox Trot Bill Koch Race - This will still be held in Hanover, but a mile or so farther north up Rte. 10 from where it is usually held. Only the Eastern Cup is being moved to Gunstock (just big kids/adults). Still a freestyle race as far as I know.
Costume Day - Let's all where costumes, funny hats, or any other goofy get-up for the session on Sunday. I am hopeful that we will get enough snow for Notchview to groom the field, in which case we will play some games with all ages.

Very Cool Video on U.S. Wax Technology at the Olympics
Check this out. Not too bad for NBC. Here is a little look into what it takes to have fast skis at the elite level.

If you hunt around on the NBC Olympics site, they are posting lots of video coverage of all sorts of events, including nordic skiing. Last night I watched a video of the women's biathlon event, which was otherwise covered with about 2.5 minutes of time on the television.
