The Maine Event: Cross Country Cross (XCX)

October 23, 2022 All day

On Sunday morning October 23rd NENSA will be hosting the fourth Maine Event — the first Rollerski Cross Country Cross event (XCX) in the world.  This exciting summer version of Cross Country Cross (XCX) builds on aspects of both sprinting and agility.  The event will take place at Pineland Farms in New Gloucester, Maine.  Originally designed for local collegiate skiers, we are thrilled to see growth in participation each year from high school, club and masters skiers.

REGISTRATION OPENS September 26th

There will be ample time throughout the day and after the event for skiers who aren’t competing to try ramps and agility — please check in at the NENSA tent on arrival to fill out a waiver and get some safety info.  All are welcome.

2021 Event Recap

(Course Map) The course will be set on a 400 meter loop including multiple ramps (Bicycle(s), Speed Whoop, and Step Down Jump) and other agility components including a figure 8, one-legged balance, grass skiing, and several turning features including a slalom.  Skiers should be prepared for a course under 2 minutes in length with sections of open skiing including a finish straight. All skiers will participate in course instruction and two qualifications and use their “Best 1 of 2” time to advance into the rounds.  The top-16 Open and top-8 Junior skiers will advance to single elimination rounds – advancing by winning their “heat” (Final Heat numbers and structure will be published based on registration numbers with the goal of allowing for more “round” skiing).  Head-to-head competitors will start and finish on opposite sides of the event “oval.”  Overall results will rank based on round advancement.

  • Event will follow USSS Rule 328.2.3: (page 55 in U.S. Ski & Snowboard Comp Guide).  Gate-keepers / course marshals will report competitors to the jury that have not properly navigated features. In qualification if one feature is reported a five second penalty will be applied.  If more than one violation is reported that skier will be relegated to the end of qualification results and sorted by finish time.  In finals any violation will relegate the competitor to the back of the heat.
  • Skiers will be seeded using U.S. Ski & Snowboard (or FIS) Sprint Points.
