Eastern Cup #2.5: Lake Placid, NY

Why 2.5? This event is not technically a NENSA Eastern Cup, but on Jan 21/22 NYSEF will be hosting the Harry Eldridge races in Lake Placid. Saturday’s race will count as a NENSA “Out-Of-Region” JNQ. This means that athletes will be able to score USSA points toward Junior Nationals qualification. Sunday’s race will not be scored for JN points, but will be a great competition nonetheless. Depending on individual needs, athletes may choose to race on Sunday as well as Saturday, or get in a distance ski on the trails for Junior Nationals.

This is absolutely an event that needs to be on the radar of MNC juniors, and it is for all intents and purposes an additional Eastern Cup race on the schedule.

MNC has lodging available at one of the High Peaks houses (across the porch from last year’s house). We will go live with a Race Trip registration soon, which includes all lodging and meals for athletes. Skiers will carpool to Lake Placid.
