Summer Programs

 
 

Skiers are made in the summer!

Did you know that BBNT runs programs all year long? Cross country skiers put in most of their training hours during the summer by running, hiking, mountain biking and rollerskiing. BBNT summer programs are built around the idea of developing a healthy and active lifestyle year-round.

Summer Equipment Policy

  • Comp and returning Devo athletes must convert their personal poles to rollerski poles. BBNT will provide ferrules (special tips for roller skiing) and we will have a day this spring to help everyone switch tips over. 

    • Everyone should have their own bounding poles as well. These should be about rib-height. Downhill poles are a great option, and you can either use some if you have them or find some cheap ones at Outdoor Exchange. 

  • All Devo athletes can use BBNT rollerskis. Comp athletes are expected to own their own rollerskis (both skate and classic). Expect more info in April.

At different times through the summer we may take advantage of more exciting training opportunities and go a bit further afield (expect later finish time). These sorts of changes will be in the weekly email.
