NENSA Eastern & Vermont Cup Series Information
2020-21 Season
The Eastern Cup and Vermont Cup are considered NENSA's signature race series, offering competition for BKL, Junior, Senior and Master skiers. Eastern Cup and Vermont Cup events determine the Junior Ranking List and will serve as the qualification for the Eastern Regional Championships (ERC). ERC final qualification to be released as soon as possible when all EC and VC race disciplines are determined.
Designated Eastern Cups and Vermont Cups are sanctioned by US Ski & Snowboard. Athletes with Competitive Memberships earn U.S. Ski & Snowboard National Ranking List ("NRL") points, and FIS license holders earn FIS Points ("FIS") at designated events.
Although Eastern Cup and Vermont Cup events attract elite skiers, the Series is not just for the very fastest cross-country ski racers. Athletes of all speeds get to compete with some of the nation’s best, and at select events, there is a masters wave that allows those over thirty to race together. Eastern Cup and Vermont Cup venues are encouraged to create fun environments for BKL skiers including terrain features or Kids Cross.
