World Cup #2 Results

Hi all,
So race 2 was an adventure in weather and timing.  We were unable to hard wire the race due to some staffing issues (namely Bone's lack of mobility and Rich's need to attend a u14 race).  The Brower timing had been working perfectly during training but alas, the weather threw us a curve ball.  After timing was set up, the snowflakes and wind kicked up.  Snowflakes the size of baseballs were being blown into the finish eyes and were registering false finishes.  With a little fast thinking and some ingenuity on the part of the U10/12 crew, we figured out a solution and the race went off without a hitch after that.  We saw every type of weather we possibly could and conditions during the race were variable at best.  Despite the challenges Mother Nature dealt us, the kids were still smiling and enjoyed playing on the slide at the start.  Thanks to all of you for your patience!

Here are the results from Sunday's race...

New NYSEF Parent Policy

Please see below for the new NYSEF parent policy.  While we understand that parent involvement is an important part of any sport, we do ask that parents read the following and do their best to abide by it.  Coat carrying is a necessity however at the U10/12 level on race days as is some parent help with slipping.  If you have questions or concerns about this policy, please see Bone or Rich.




Parent expectations with regards to racing/training venues


1. The race/train venue is the “athlete’s sanctuary”. Parents are expected to remain

outside of the venue. Much the same as a hockey game or most any sporting event,

parents are welcomed to enjoy the event from viewing areas that do not interfere with

the athletes. Generally speaking, when our athletes are inside the “fences” parents are

expected to remain on the outside looking in.

2. In the event that a parent is a volunteer or worker for the race, the parent should put

the event as their top priority. Undoubtedly, our events do not happen without parent

involvement and we do not want to discourage parents from being involved at all.

However, please do not use this as a way to gain access to their sanctuary!!

3. Start areas are off limits to parents. This is critical to letting the coaches do the coaching.

Athletes perform their best when they have the ability to clearly focus on the task at

hand. The transportation of clothing from the start is the responsibility of the coaches.

4. Course inspection is off limits to parents: Coaches are responsible for inspection

techniques of their athletes. Athletes will be informed of their responsibilities as they

pertain to inspection. Again this is critical to their long term success.

5. Course reports. Coaches are responsible for all information as it pertains to course

conditions, tactics, times, etc. .. We ask that parents do not bring their own radios

or use cell phones to relay information to their children. If this becomes an issue, we

reserve the right to remove radios and or cell phones from the athletes.

6. Ski prep: All work is to be completed prior to the event (i.e. sharpening, waxing, overlays, etc).

Please remember, the start area is a parent free zone. Coaches are responsible for additional

needs as they see fit.

7. It will be the coaches responsibility to handle all aspects of race regulations. This includes but is

not limited to DSQ’s, reruns, interference, equipment specs, etc.

8. The most important expectations: Have fun, support, and enjoy your children in their

participation of a great sport!!!


“Failure is not fatal, but failing to change might be.” John Wooden



“Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a

company work, a society work, a civilization work.” Vince Lombardi on Teamwork

Worlds Cup #1 Results

Sunday was our first World Cup race.  It was a beautiful day!  The terrain and course were difficult but many racers had a great time and I know the crowd enjoyed the dramatic finishes.  Some racers practiced selective gate running (yes, that was my kid...) but everyone was smiling at the awards!  Big thanks to our wonderful race crew, you are the best in the world and to our timer and lovely announcer.
