Sharing some photos of XC Ski Bingo players out ex Sharing some photos of XC Ski Bingo players out exploring, adventuring, and trying new things on their skis! The Telstar Middle School team is doing Bingo together as a team and came up with a new activity where they linked arms in groups of 4 and skied down a hill completing a big turn at the bottom! Maybe we'll have to add that to next year's Bingo card... And check out that exciting backyard jump! 

If you haven't already, you can print your own Bingo card and get playing! For more details and card downloads click see the link in bio. Also, if you've completed Bingo, remember to upload your card (also at the link in bio) before February 1st if you'd like to be included in our next raffle!
