Clearly it would be a good time to purchase your season pass since Bohart is only open to season pass holders in the pre-season. I had an e-mail from Norm Bishop reporting fine skiing, but without tracks. I also has a couple of photos sent along showing a smiling skier and surprisingly deep snow.

From bsfnordic.com: The BSF Ski Swap, November 7, 8 and 9 at the Fairgrounds
Remember, if you would like to work at the Swap, you must sign up by calling Kris Holland at the BSF Office, 587-2445. Being a Nordic volunteer at the Swap helps BSF Nordic earn a higher percentage of the Swap profits and enables you to get in and shop early!

BSF Nordic Sign-up Night (for ski training programs), October 21st from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. at the Bozeman Public Library
Plan to come if you have any questions about BSF Nordic/Thanksgiving Camp/Youth Ski League/Coaches/etc. Also, it's a great time for new families to get all the latest information, so please spread the word to friends who may be interested in BSF Nordic.

It is also time to renew your Bridger Ski Foundation membership (http://www.bridgerskifoundation.com/join_us.htm) -- $20 individual, $30 partners, $40 family.

I realize that winter has come on rather suddenly, and it is likely all this snow will melt in town very soon, but it is time to make preparations for the season. Since the Ski Swap is about a month away it is an ideal time to buy whatever you need in the way of new equipment now while selection is good so that you can take your used but not abused ski gear to the Swap. If your pre-season fitness campaign is not in high gear, now is the time to get going.

Fitness and Performance Programs by Kate Howe of HardHead Coaching are helpful! http://www.hardheadcoching.com!

Get ready. Winter is on the way.
