The Eastern Mass Bill Koch Youth Ski Club offers
cross-country skiing for youths ages 7-13 in the Boston area. We hold on-snow practices at Weston
Ski Track, located near the intersection of Rte 128 and the Mass
Pike. The club introduces young skiers
to the joys of cross-country skiing through our program of coaching with a
low skier-coach ratio and instruction methods developed for young
skiers. The club has both racing and
non-racing components. Cross-country
skiing is a low-impact sport and is great cross-training for runners, soccer
players, and other young athletes! No
prior XC skiing experience is necessary. Thanks for a great 2007-2008 season! Check back in September, 2008 for 2008-09 registration info and
preliminary schedule! |

SMS and GMVS Summer XC Ski Camps Green Mountain Valley School (GMVS camp info)
and Stratton Mountain School (SMS
camp info) each run high-quality summer youth XC camps. Skiers from our club have attended both and
have had a great time. In our
experience, the SMS camp is more appropriate for younger skiers, the GMVS
camp is more appropriate for older/more competitive skiers (GMVS does more
roller skiing). Feel free to ask
Coaches Brams or McEwen if you have questions. |
Eastern Mass BK Club receives the 2008 NENSA Bill Koch League Club of the Year Award! This is a real tribute to the
