Saturday 1/11 @ Lake Placid: 7.5km classic individual start.
Each year NYSEF (Lake Placid, NY) hosts a race that is considered an “out-of-region” Junior National qualifier event for New England skiers. It is typically a much smaller field than an Eastern Cup and sometimes (but not always) it helps athletes score good points. This year the race is a 7.5km individual start for ALL participants (J2’s, J1/OJ, men and women alike).
This is a great event for athletes to ski on the incredible trails that hosted the 1980 Olympics. It is also a great opportunity for athletes that are thinking about Junior Nationals and who may be on the “bubble” for qualification. When conditions are good at Mt Van Hovenberg, it is one of my favorite places in the world to ski and it is absolutely worth the drive!
