Opening Weekend

Greetings NYSEF Families:

 

I can’t believe opening weekend is already here! For those that haven’t been around yet, the skiing has been fantastic and we’re looking forward to a great opening day.

 

Just wanted to write a quick note of reminders for the weekend. In the case anyone is still wondering, the first official day of Weekend Program is SUNDAY, not Saturday which will be made of staff meetings as in the past.  Here’s a short summary of the itinerary for the weekend:

• Saturday: Meet/greet with coaches from 8:30-9:00 AM – come by to pick up your passes, meet coaches, etc., then go out and free-ski on your own or with family. Staff meetings will be from 9:00 – 2:30.
• Sunday: Program begins at 8:30 sharp so be ready to ski! Come dressed for a variety of weather over the course of the weekend
  • U10/U12 groups: meet with Beatty and other coaches at 8:30 INSIDE the NYSEF Training Center (look for an additional e-mail from Beatty with details)
  • U14/U16/Masters groups: meet with me and other coaches at 8:30 OUTSIDE the building ready to go (athletes should be on SL skis and ready to begin a free-skiing progression)

Please let me know if you have any questions, looking forward to the weekend!

NYSEF-Alpine On-Snow Camps

NYSEF will be hosting two fall alpine camps on snow to help athletes get a jump start on the ski season.  Both camps are great for aspiring racers to work on fundamentals and get the necessary mileage that can be hard to come by in December.  

The Western Camp will consist of 7-8 days of free-skiing on some awesome terrain out in Summit County, Colorado with lots of winter snow at resorts like A-Basin, Loveland, and Copper.  Meanwhile, the Eastern Camp will consist of 5 days of free-skiing at Killington on some of the first snow in the East.
