It was a glorious of day for the first rollerski race of the 2022 NENSA Summer Series! A big thank you to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center staff and volunteers for all the hard work they put into hosting this event. It was extra exciting for this race to overlap with the Eastern Regional Elite Group (REG) Camp so we had top juniors in attendance from all across the East. In addition to competitive racing action, the day also featured a Learn-to Rollerski clinic for skiers of all ages looking to try rollerskiing for the first time and wrapped up with REAL skiing down in the Craftsbury village courtesy of saved snow from the Outdoor Center. So if you saw a Piston Bully driving down the road last Sunday, you were not hallucinating!
