The Eastern Cup

New England’s Premier Race Series

Registration for the 2024-25 Eastern Cup season will open on November 1st.

The Eastern Cup

The Eastern Cup Series is considered NENSA’s signature race series. The Eastern Cup is a New England tradition, set in locales that showcase our region’s deep dedication to skiing, while combining fields across BKL, Junior, and Senior circuits. By creating a open environment for all competitors, the Eastern Cup has grown to be uniquely competitive. This is ski racing, done town meeting-style.

For Junior racers, the Eastern Cup is the qualification series (criteria here) for Team New England at US Ski and Snowboard’s Junior National Championships (JNs).

Top Eastern Cup performers annually are named to NENSA’s Elite and Devo Teams, and the Overall Champion each year is awarded the Mike Gallagher Award.
