Officials Resources
NENSA’s Officials Certification Program is designed to provide our Eastern Cup and Championship events with informed officials who work in cooperation with NENSA staff and site personnel to create safe, exciting competitions.
Event Organizer Resources
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.

Jakroo Youth Apparel Program
Jakroo, known for its commitment to providing functional and affordable outerwear, is teaming up with NENSA to be sure BKL skiers are warm, dry, and happy all winter long!
Through this program, NENSA clubs have access to quality gear, affordable pricing, a team store for simple ordering, fast turnaround, warmth, and camaraderie!
Clubs
Here are helpful resources for club leaders and for people looking to start a new club.
Club Liability Insurance
NENSA Clubs are eligible to receive General Liability insurance coverage under the NENSA master policy.
A Master policy aggregates coverage for the community, offers better coverage than what clubs may find individually, and saves our clubs the costs of these separate policies. It is a member benefit that we are proud to offer and that we believe will benefit our community directly through the local savings it offers to clubs.
Club Development Resources
This page is designed for people who are interested in creating a new ski club or further developing their current ski club.
