NYSEF Nordic Training Program  coming to Gore Mtn.  Spring and summer session.  NYSEF TRAINING FLYER

The NYSEF XC Program is expanding our territory to the Gore Region. We are jump starting this program starting this spring and summer because cross-country skiing is no longer a winter-only sport!! Let's do consistent, year-round training and raise the level of ski racing in the Mid-Atlantic Division! This program is for J2 and older athletes. See the attachment for details about the new summer program.
 
Spring sessions will run on Saturdays and summer sessions will run on Thursdays.
There will be two sessions per day, 10 AM & 2 PM.
Additional days will be added in the summer for adventure days in the Lake Placid and Old Forge areas.
 
I would like to get this program underway next Saturday, May 19. We will not be rollerskis on the first day.
 
PASS THE WORD AROUND. GET YOUR FRIENDS, GET FIRED UP, LET'S GET FIT TO GO FAST NEXT WINTER!!
