January 28 & 29th

Admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:46:47 +0000

Hope this posting find everyone well and ready to move into the second half of the season. The Bromley crew has continued to do a great job of providing us a terrific playground, despite mother nature’s evil efforts. Most of our athletes will be around this weekend(due to postponed events) to enjoy some training before the crazy schedule’s of February and March kick in. Also, we are planning a BBQ for Saturday(28th) and would welcome any assistance and/or donations to help offset the cost/efforts of providing this wonderful fare for our members and staff.

This weekend’s events include an exciting boarder/skier cross competition on the Plaza hill for Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday afternoon we will be hosting the second Pabst race of the year on the East Meadow. These events are always fun and are great opportunity to work off your volunteer commitments.

We would like to remind everyone that our biggest fundraiser of the year is also approaching, Febfest. We are always looking for help in gathering outstanding auction items, please help our club by seeking out items from your business and personnel contacts. Let’s us know what you come up with.

USSA/VARA Membership Paperwork

Admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 01:15:21 +0000

If this is the first race away from Bromley this weekend, it might be a good idea to have a printed receipt and or printed membership cards with you when you go to another mountain for your races this weekend. this could avoid undue confusion when registering at events. Also, ask for a copy of the event schedule if they have one. This should give you times of when you/your athlete need to be somewhere.

BOC Clubhouse

Admin — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:42:11 +0000

Thanks for all the great efforts on the hill this last holiday break, We do understand it was not the best of hill conditions, but we used the limited conditions to our benefit. The coming weekend should offer a wider terrain selection. We will be host a number of events this weekend, so please if you can lend a hand do so.

At this time, I would also like to mention a growing concern we have with the our clubhouse. During the holiday week our clubhouse was way too messy. Plastic bags, half eaten nachos, french fries and a lot of other garbage all over the place. In plain it, was treated without any respect. I was also made aware of some of athletes not treating each other with mutual respect. Both of these situations are entirely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Please talk with your athlete/child about this situation, we(coaches/staff) can not be downstairs at all times to monitor the athletes behavior and cleanliness. The only alternative would be to close the clubhouse to all but ski storage, something none of us want to do. Thanks for your help in straightening out our situations.

J4 TRAINING– CHRISTMAS BREAK
Many BOC J4 racers do not have much free-skiing time yet, so free-skiing drills will
be the emphasis for that group during the first half of Christmas break. For the others
who have been skiing, we will start to run some short, simple SL and GS drill courses
when appropriate, as well as continuing to build free-skiing mileage. Bring both SL
and GS skis (and SL guards) each day until snow conditions stablize. We’ll make the
call on which skis at 8:15 AM each day.

Dec 26-28 (Mon-Wed)
GS Drills, Free-Skiing Drills, Free-Skiing

With the quickly improving snow conditions, we are hopeful to run some simple
GS drills on Mon-Wed. However, bring both SL and GS skis (and SL guards) each
day until snow conditions stablize. We’ll make the call at 8:15 AM each day. If GS
drills are not possible, we will try for SL drills in stubbies while continuing to build
free-skiing mileage as well.

Dec 29 (Thurs)
GS Drills, Free-Skiing Drills, Free-Skiing
