October 03, 2014 (Bend, OR) – Bend Endurance Academy’s (BEA) Nordic ski programs are open for enrollment for the 2015 winter season.  Entering their seventh winter the BEA Nordic programs continue to offer fun, safe and professional Nordic ski coaching to the Central Oregon community.

Nordic teams and programs begin with preschool participants and extend onward to competitive high school skiers and post grad racers and masters level instruction.   Bend Endurance Academy offers options for loaner ski equipment and includes transportation for weekend and after school programs.

Bend Endurance Academy is pleased to announce the naming of recent Bates graduate and Fairbanks, AK native Jordan Buetow as the Head Development Team Coach and Hilary Rich as the Head Youth Club Coach who is taking over from Brenna Warburton, long time BEA coach, who will be on maternity leave this season.

With the recent unveiling of the 2015 slate of enrollment options, BEA is looking forward to addition of the Nordic Afterschool Program- taking advantage of the Bend LaPine’s Wednesday early release from school- designed for elementary students who want to experience the sport of Nordic skiing.   Ski programs for younger skiers (ages 5-6) and older skiers (ages 19-99) will be posted on BEA’s website shortly.

An informational Parent Meeting for Development and Youth Club participants will be held Wednesday, Oct 22 at 6:oo pm at the BEA offices located at 500 SW Bond Street.
