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….

J6 Parents and Athletes,
Well, despite our best efforts, spring has definitely sprung here in Vermont. That doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of skiing left, it just means we don’t need 4 layers of clothing and hot chocolate to enjoy it. Saturday is forecast to hit 60 degrees! Dare we start thinking about skiing in shorts?
This weekend we’ll spend our last full weekend tuning up for the club championship on March 28. Let’s show those older kids a thing or two. As I found out personally last weekend, age does not trump beauty when it comes to racing.
See you on Saturday!
Coach John
J6 Parents and Athletes,
Did we ever own the mountain last weekend! It was a wild crew of J6 skiers that ate up the mush on Saturday and Sunday. We even skied Little Dipper twice as evidenced by the attached photos. We also watched our heroine Lyndsay make slalom look easy as she foreran the J1/2 race over the weekend. You can see the wheels turning in the J6 heads as they see what is possible.
We introduced a couple new drills this weekend that helped get the skiers forward, on edge and moving their feet quickly through turns. These brush drills were fun and fast for the kids, and I watched with immense satisfaction as body and ski position improved with every run.
OK, after a week of non-stop sun (almost unheard of in VT!) we’re all pretty spoiled. It looks like we are in for a wet weekend, so be prepared. Right now they’re calling for showers on Saturday and rain on Sunday. The snow will be soft, but make sure the kids have some way to stay dry. We’ll try to work around it, but we’re the J6s, so we have to set the example for all the other BOC skiers and will probably end up outdoors most of the time.
Finally, get ready for Mountain Dew this weekend. Details about the race are on the Bromley Mountain site. Suffice it to say that caffeine and sugar can be found in abundance this Saturday!
See you on the mountain,
Coach John

J6 Parents and Athletes,
After last week’s 37 inches of mountain snow, any weather we get this week is going to be a piece of cake. It seems we are all set for the rest of the season with the entire mountain available for training and skiing.
Last weekend’s big news was our fantastic Pabst race. The J6ers were out in force as 9 girls and 12 boys raced a challenging East Meadow giant slalom. Annsley Martin was our top finisher with a 6th place finish followed closely by Katie Baronowski (7th) . A strong showing from Sophia Bastek placed her 3rd among our group and 10th overall. All the girls skied well and completed both runs.
Robert Donnellan was our top boy finisher with a tie for 9th place. His younger brother Tyler skied his best yet this year and finished just .59 back in 13th place. Watch out Robert, here he comes! John Morgantini, Blake Roberts, and Bo Nordberg rounded out the top 15 for BOC. Good job boys!
A very special thanks to everyone who helped out with the race, and especially to those hardy individuals who helped dig out the snow fences and reset them!
Lyndsay, Lily and I are planning our own J6 championship race in the next couple of weekends and will update you as soon as we finalize the date.
See you on the mountain,
Coach John

J6 Parents and Athletes,
I trust everyone is recovering from last week’s ski marathon. What a great week! Not only did we get some fresh snow early in the week, but we got a little blast on the weekend as well. This coming weekend look for Bromley to be pretty buried from today’s storm with perhaps more snow tomorrow and Friday. For all you J6ers, I guess the coaches won’t have any excuses not for not skiing the Plunge and Spring Fling. Get ready to go steep and deep!
We ended the weekend on a high note with timed courses on Lord’s Prayer and School Slope. The kids were having so much fun being timed, they didn’t want to quit. Lyndsay, Lily and I had to start taking the course down to make them stop at 2:30. Great skiing by everyone as we completed good course training for our February 28 Pabst race on Sunday.
Look for some fun on Saturday as we’ll run gates and ski that new snow.
See you on the mountain,
Coach John
