A mainstay event in the NENSA Zak and Marathon Series, the White Mountain Classic flaunted its appeal to skiers 8 to 80 years old with a crisp day, brilliantly sunny skies, beautiful hard wax conditions, and three distance options: 7km, 14km, or 21km.
Skiers gathered for a post-race spaghetti lunch prepared and served by the Jackson Grammar School students, an annual school fundraiser. Overall age group winners were recognized with a selection of prizes from Jackson Ski Touring and White Mountain Puzzles. Results:
NENSA Northeast State Championships
1. New Hampshire 7 + 1
2. Vermont 7 + 2
3. Maine 10
4. Massachusetts 19
It was another nail bitter in this year’s team scoring, with New Hampshire and Vermont going to a tiebreak. New Hampshire took the title from Vermont by securing eight (8) first places to Vermont’s seven (7) and their tiebreak being a second-place skier. Maine had strong performances as well, but not quite enough depth to challenge for the win.
One-Day Club Championships
Men:
1. NWVE
2. TNR
3. Gunstock Nordic
4. SDXC
Women:
1. NWVE (Only one complete team participated)
This year saw the return of the One-Day Club Championships. Five complete teams competed in this year’s event. Lacking the traditional strong challenge from CSU, NWVE took the win in both categories, followed by solid performances from TNR, Gunstock, and SDXC.
