Event Organizers

2023-2024 | NENSA Event Organizer Information

NENSA events, such as Eastern Cup, U16's, EHS Championships, and Popular Races (Zak Cup and Marathons) serve many purposes beyond providing a timed course for racers.  These races are a primary vehicle for skier development and the backbone of our vibrant skiing community.

Eastern Cup, Marathon Series, Zak, Club Cup Series and Championship race organizers are partners with NENSA in building success at all levels of the sport.  NENSA offers a training seminar every fall to support venues hosting events.  All organizing committee members are invited and encouraged/welcome to attend.  Seminar information will be shared in October/November.
