Stump Farm Photos

 

Great job to the Kids on Saturday! Pictures are posted at http://shoffmanphoto.smugmug.com/CrossCountrySkiing-2010/Bay-Nordic. Thank you to the Ashwaubenon Nordic Ski Team for once again involving us with the Stump Farm.

Hopefully some of the kids were able to see the elite skiers that made the trip to Green Bay. Some media coverage of their journey is at http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/sports/sports_edge/State-budget-crisis-reroutes-skiers.

Our last event is March 5^th and includes food on the grill and drinks. Bob White and Jen will be coordinating the potluck so please contact them if you would like to contribute.

Good luck to Bay Nordic Skiers at the Barnebirkie this weekend!

 

Upcoming Events – Feb 19th and March 5th

Hello Bay Nordic Skiers,

We miss everyone! It's been too long. We had a hard time cancelling the last event but unfortunately could not influence the weather. Even though the weather is warming up this week we still should have good trail conditions for this Saturday.

Our next event is this weekend and time for the kids to show off at the annual Stump Farm Ski Race hosted as a fundraiser for the Ashwaubenon Nordic Ski Team. As part of the festivities, a kids event will be held featuring the BAY Nordic kids. The kids event is set up to be a non-competitive fun event for the kids to go out and enjoy. Kids will be participating in the following distances.

• ½ km for the Penguins
  
• 2.5-3.0 km – Remaining Groups.
  

We had a lot of fun with this last year. All the kids enjoy showing their ski talents and receiving the participation medal at the end. Please come out and cheer the kids on. Great photos from last year at http://shoffmanphoto.smugmug.com/Cross-Country-Skiing-2009-2010/Bay-Nordic-Ski-Club/Bay-Nordic-02-20-10/11324913_Kektg#795094369_pzMET.

The Bay Nordic event is scheduled to begin at 10:06am. We are asking everyone to please have the kids in the warm-up area and ready-to-go by 9:45am. We will be providing our normal check- in and rental during the session so please look for us towards the warm-up area.

ANST has a races in the morning for Middle School, High School, and Adults (5K and 20K). A full schedule is at http://skiwithanst.org/. For those parents wishing to race the 20K, we will have some coaches available in the warm-up area to keep the kids entertained until 12:30pm.

Following the race all kids will need to return to their groups. We will have some fun activities for the kids in the warm-up & obstacle course area. The older groups (Caribou/Wolf & Polar Bears) will go out for a ski if time allows.

March 5^th, End of the Year Ski and Party

March 5^th is our final session and will consist of normal group activities and a cook-out. We have the back-end of the shelter along with the grill rented for the day. Grilling will start early but we would like to encourage families to stay into the afternoon, eat some food, and ski.
