Happy New Year all!

Our first World Cup race will be held Saturday January 2nd. It will be a GS on Otter Slide. Our goal is to start at 9:30 on the dot. Kids will have 2 runs and awards will follow at 12:30. After awards, kids will go back out with their respective groups and parents are invited to join us in the Training Center for a tuning clinic with Gary Higley owner of the Sports Page ski shop in Glens Falls.

JV News and Updates

Hi Everyone. What a great (but delayed) start to the racing season! We're in the midst of the second weekend of JV training and the kids and coaches are smiling. Conditions are good and everyone seems to be really excited for the upcoming holiday break to begin so we can ski even more.



With that said, the mountain has approved our JV World Cup schedule for 2010. Please see below:

Jan 2

Jan 16

Feb 13

Feb 21

March 7- JV Speed Event

All dates are final and disciplines and location of races are subject to mountain approval. We are shooting for 2 GS and 2 SL world cup races this season in addition to our annual speed event.


The Kandahar is also being held at Gore this winter and will take place on February 27th and 28th. The Kandahar for those who don't know is an old race (older than me since I competed in it as a V and it was old then) that V's are invited to participate in and can lead to qualification to the Piche Invitational held at Gunstock NH March 19th and 20th.

There will be JV program each day over the holiday break starting on December 26th. December 31st will be a half day so that families and coaches can celebrate the New Year.

Please be sure to check our JV blog periodically for new updates throughout the season.
