2021 Award Recipients : The Entire New England Ski Community
Due to the COVID Pandemic, we decided to not have our usual annual awards. So much of the year was focused on hosting safe events, however we could. These included many virtual options as well as state by state events, as many state lines were closed and our XC ski community had to stay local and not travel. Thus our “typical” events did not happen, but many wonderful modified events did. These included State Cup Races, combined U16/EHS individual State championships as well as over 16 mini-BKL local “festivals” and a Women’s Day was held on the same day, in 5 different locations, in 4 different states. In short, our ENTIRE SKI COMMUNITY deserves an Award, for doing all they could, given the circumstances, to help NENSA host and continue our programing, even in the midst of a pandemic. We thank every club, venue and skier, who did all they could to make their own corner of New England a special and welcoming place for their local skiers to get outside and just enjoy the winter. So hats off to EVERYONE who made our “shelter in place” season a huge success!
