Hello folks,
If this will be your last weekend of skiing/riding at Bromley, please remember to grab your gear. If you are going to ski/ride on Easter Weekend, the Club will be open and you can grab gear then. It will be very important for folks to grab all of their gear since we will be doing a deep clean and some storage/cubby renovations this spring/summer. Thank you for your help… Over the years, we have accumulated lots of extra stuff and it is time to purge so we can create as much room as possible.
The Annual BOC Meeting will be held this Saturday, March 27th. The meeting will start at 4:15pm and will take place on the 3rd floor of the Bromley Base Lodge.
Stephan Maeder is doing the shopping for the BBQ this Saturday and we are looking for a few folks to help do some grilling, set up, clean up,etc. Please drop us a note or call if you can help out on Saturday.. THANK YOU… 802-824-6498….

Well, although last weekend’s cancellation was a disappointment, the mountain, once again, has proved to withstand the fluctuations of the weather. The skiing is perfect spring conditions- lots of sunshine, soft corn snow in the mornings and mashed potatoes in the afternoon.
Looks like the weather will continue into the upcoming weekend with the possibility of precip for Sunday. J5s have some options, all of which sound fun. Saturday is the pond skimming. According to the mountain’s website, those participants 10 & under go first. Sunday will be the cardboard race. There is also the “Rising Bear” race over at Stratton on Sunday. The Rising Bear race is similar to our Pabst race, combining J6s and J5s. We have been invited to participate. I would like to know who is interested in going by the weekend so we can plan for our coaching staff. I am still waiting for the details on start and cost- I’ll send out that information as soon as I get it.
Good luck to all those going to Gunstock!!
BOC Rocks!!
RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!!
Well the good news is that there is still a lot of snow on the mountain, even after 4 straight days of sun.
Bad news is, yup, it’s gonna rain this weekend. Then again, forecasts are known for their inaccuracy, so maybe we’ll be lucky.
In any case, we have a busy weekend ahead. Saturday is the Mountain Dew race. If your child would like to participate, please inform Bucky or Dave. We will also be having a GS training session on Saturday in preparation for Sunday’s final Council race. If it actually does rain, we will plan the training around the weather. As for the council race, there is no indication thus far of it being cancelled. Let’s assume that the show will go on!
Unfortunately, this weekend is one of those weekends that I planned way back when, and I will not be at the mountain. Our trusty J5 coaches, Bucky and the rest of the crew, Dave, Brad, and Temerson, will all be on board this weekend. Good luck everyone!!
Peter Cook and Eliza Denious....2010 winners of the Yolanda Ambrosecchio Memorial Pabst Race...CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The forecast for the weekend looks like a Bromley weekend- sunshine and warmer temps : )
I am asking for training space for both mornings- continuing to train GS. We have our last SVC race next weekend at Bromley. In the afternoons we will mix free skiing with focused drills. It is important to recognize that the time we spend out of gates is essential at this time in an athlete’s development. Navigating trees and bumps develops a ski racer’s “touch” for snow and terrain as well as line and perceptual skills.
Upcoming events:
March 13th – Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge
March 14th- Final SVC GS @ Bromley

PABST J5-JISP, DEVO, and KAP 2-28
PABST J6 2-28
Wow !!! 3 feet of new snow at the Big B !!!
We will try to have some training space on Saturday for GS (TBA) and the 2nd Pabst Race will be held on Sunday afternoon.
We will also be mountain skiing for part of the day on Saturday- with this much snow we can’t miss the opportunity to learn from exploring different terrain and conditions.
Also, we will have more discussion on the Piche Race at Gunstock (March 19/20) and figure out who qualifies to go. Steve Lathrop sent out an email to all J5 parents. Please let me know if you did not receive this email.
Cheers!
