What is the Bill Koch League? BKL is the largest membership group in cross-country skiing in the United States. Founded by Olympic Silver Medalist Bill Koch, the League’s mission is to introduce children to cross-country skiing in a supportive fun environment.

Coaches: The program will operate under the leadership of Sam Garland, Rob Dapice and parent volunteers. When available, members of the Hopkinton High School Nordic Team will also act as instructors. Instruction is in small groups providing an excellent skier to instructor ratio.
Equipment: Blackwater Nordic has limited equipment available to rent. Equipment also can be purchased or rented at a 20% discount (for Blackwater Nordic members) at S&W Sports in Concord.
On Saturday, October 30, 2021 we will be at the fairgrounds from 10AM to 12:30 PM to rent Blackwater equipment. We also are looking into a small, local ski swap at the same time & day; if we pull that together we will provide more information.
