Dear Skiers, Coaches, and Friends:
NENSA invites you to this season’s Eastern Cup. The Eastern Cup is a New England tradition, offering a unique mix of premier competition at venues which showcase the East’s geographic diversity and winter sport history. Top racers from our region and beyond participate in these events, with juniors vying for the New England Junior National Championship Team. JNs team qualification is based on points accumulated at these four weekends of racing:
- Henchey Memorial Eastern Cup Opener – Dec. 21st-22nd, Craftsbury, VT
- Lake Placid Eastern Cup / St. Lawrence Carnival – Jan. 18th-19th Lake Placid, NY
- Roy Varney Memorial Eastern Cup at Quarry Road – Feb. 1st-2nd Waterville, ME
- Frost Mountain Eastern Cup / Middlebury Carnival – Feb. 15th-16th, Ripton, VT
Further details can be found on our Eastern Cup Series Page.
From the Adirondacks and Green Mountains, to the Kennebec Valley, NENSA is proud to set the stage for the cross country ski community to showcase itself. In a place where the trails are well-worn, practicing a winter sport which uniquely orients us all towards finding warmth in the cold, we can’t wait to see you out there. The Eastern Cup’s strength has always been in the unique bonds that it forms and sustains. From skiers pushing each other across the field, to the families, friends, and friends that become family, we all ski better when we are together. Please join us for four spectacular weekends of cross country ski racing. It’s going to be a big winter!
Sincerely,
Ben Theyerl, NENSA Competitive Program Director
