BKL Programming in the time of COVID19: 

We are fortunate that cross country skiing is an outdoor activity that can be done relatively safely during the current pandemic. That said, things will look somewhat different as we undertake a variety of measures to try to keep everyone safe.

Please read Great Glen Trails COVID policies. 

We will be meeting outside on Sunday afternoons to better social distance. Masks are required when in our Base Lodge. We will adhere to the most current NH State and local guidelines regarding both in-state and out-of-state visitors and Great Glen BKL Club member attendance and participation. 

Let's keep eachother safe so we can enjoy winter and stay healthy!
